Team India skipper Rohit Sharma was seen clicking selfies and signing autographs for fans outside of what appeared to be outside the team hotel in Adelaide. In a video surfaced on social media, Rohit was seen telling a fan, “Life mein ek hee opportunity milta hai, you have to grab”, although the context of that remains unclear.
Rohit will be back in the playing XI for the second Test against Australia at the Adelaide Oval as Team India hope to gain a 2-0 lead in the five-game series. The 37-year-old played the pink-ball two-day warm-up game against the Prime Minister’s XI to prepare for the exciting day-night Test in Adelaide.
Meanwhile, below is the video of Rohit interacting with fans in Adelaide as journalist Vimal Kumar shared the video on X:
Rohit Sharma’s batting position under discussion ahead of Adelaide Test
Meanwhile, the 37-year-old’s batting position remains up for discussion as he returns for the second Test against Australia at the Adelaide Oval, beginning on December 6. With the right-hander rendering himself unavailable due to paternity leave for the opening Test in Perth, Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul did a sensational job as openers, especially in the second innings, stitching a 200-run partnership.
The visitors are likely to stick with it for the day-night Test, especially as Rohit didn’t come good in the two-day warm-up match with the pink ball in Canberra, managing only three runs. Shubman Gill’s return is also under focus and is likely to replace Dhruv Jurel or Devdutt Padikkal in the eleven.
With Jasprit Bumrah at the helm, India thumped Australia by 295 runs to take a 1-0 lead in Perth.
