In the fourth Test between India and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Australia won the toss and opted to bat first. The decision turned out to be a masterstroke as the hosts, batting first, put 311/6 after stumps on day 1.
Debutant Sam Konstas shone in his first international match and played a valuable 60-run inning. It was not the most fruitful day for the Indian stars and skipper Rohit Sharma, in particular.
Rohit Sharma Loses Cool On The Field
The hitman had a couple of dull decisions and was captured several times expressing his frustration on the field. Meanwhile, a video has been doing rounds on the internet where Rohit scolded Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was not fielding properly at the silly point position.
In the viral clip, Rohit was heard scolding Jaiswal with a gully cricket reference and also instructed him to not stand up until the batter plays a shot. It was in reference to the incident that occurred when Steve Smith played a defensive shot but Jaiswal jumped in the air out of fear that did not go well with Rohit.
Steve Smith Continues His Terrific Form
Talking about Steve Smith, he extended his solid run and picked up from where he left at the Gabba and is nearing another century. Notably, Smith, who smashed a century in the 3rd Test, is unbeaten on 68 (111), which has featured five fours and a solitary six.
Meanwhile, it was a frustrating day for Rohit as a captain as well because he took couple of wrong DRS decisions. Thus, he wasn't pleased with the fielding effort as he wants the Indian side to give their 100% to try and qualify for WTC final.
