Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma - (Source: AFP)
After a crushing defeat in the 1st ODI, India are all set to face Australia in the 2nd game on October 23 at the Adelaide Oval. Eyes will be again on Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who failed in the curtain raiser game. The pressure is at an all-time high for the veterans as the sword of ODI retirement hangs over their heads.
Talking about the first ODI, Virat Kohli registered an eight-ball duck, while Rohit Sharma showed a glimpse of his prowess with a boundary, but soon returned to the pavillion. Ahead of the upcoming game, both stars are sweating hard in the nets, while Rohit has hogged the internet for his now-viral moment with Yashasvi Jaiswal.
Rohit, Jaiswal makes headline after viral video
Notably, Jaiswal is also part of the squad and is waiting for his chance to make his ODI debut outside India. Meanwhile, in the video, which is spreading like fire on the internet, Rohit was seen engaging in a deep conversation with the southpaw and also picked up one of his 'SG' bats and began to shadow practice.
It looked as if the hitman donned a mentor role, guiding Jaiswal and helping him out with a few suggestions. The video sparked several speculations that Jaiswal might be given a chance in Adelaide, while others speculated that the hitman would try something new for the 2nd ODI after seeing him shadow practice with Jaiswal's bat.
Jaiswal's net session hints at a massive change in the 2nd ODI
Not only Rohit's video with Jaiswal, but India's net session is also going viral as the management asked Nitish Kumar Reddy and, interestingly, Yashavi Jaiswal to bowl in the nets, which also hinted at changes that the Men in Blue can make in the 2nd ODI.
A defeat in the 1st ODI also ruined Jaiswal's plans, as if India managed to win the first two games, then it would have been easier for the RR star to make his place in the playing XI.
