India posted a much better, more competitive total in the 2nd ODI against Australia at the Adelaide Oval, all because of the two half-centuries that kept the innings afloat. After Shubman Gill was sent back early<\/a> and Virat Kohli<\/a> dismissed for a four-ball duck<\/a>, hopes were heavily pinned on Rohit Sharma. Could he bail India out of trouble at 16\/2? Could he discover the touch that made him a world-beater? Could he, for one last time, channel every bit of motivation and self-belief in him to get a big one? Well, as it turns out, yes and no.<\/p>\n

After overcoming a slow start where he got stuck at 8 off 22, Rohit saw off the initial tough phase to finish on a fine 73 off 97, and with Shreyas Iyer’s 61, stitched a solid century partnership to set the bedrock of India’s 264\/9. Axar Patel’s 44 and Harshit Rana’s quickfire 24 off 18 made for important lower-order contributions, but without Rohit and Shreyas, the total could have been a lot lower. The Mumbai duo got together and broke the shackles. However, during their stand, there were a few ‘Yes and No’, that threatened to cut the alliance.<\/p>\n

There was a moment where both batters refused to see eye-to-eye following a disagreement over a run. As Rohit tucked a ball from Josh Hazlewood, he took off, only to be sent back by Shreyas Iyer. That’s when the stump mic captured their conversation.<\/p>\n

Rohit: Shreyas, this was a single.<\/p>\n

Iyer: Aap karke dekho, mereko mat bolo na phir (You call, don’t look at me).<\/p>\n

Rohit: You will have to call first, then. He (Hazlewood) is bowling the seventh over.<\/p>\n

Iyer: I don\u2019t know the angle he is running at. Give the call.<\/p>\n

Rohit: I can’t give you that call.<\/p>\n

Iyer: It’s in front of you<\/p>\n

Rohit: *nods head*<\/p>\n

Former cricketers react<\/p>\n

Aakash Chopra, on commentary, weighed in: “This is an indication for all garden boys. That this is their call. Shreyas was convinced there was no single there. He clearly said no.<\/p>\n

Irfan Pathan sided with Rohit. “That’s where experience comes into play. He has bowled 7 straight overs. So obviously, he will be tired. Both are making a comeback into the ODIs. They could have taken a run here,” the former India bowler said while doing commentary for Star Sports.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"India posted a much better, more competitive total in the 2nd ODI against Australia at the Adelaide Oval,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":220211,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[94123,1721,94122,82290,94125,40659,94124,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-220210","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-argue","9":"tag-cricket","10":"tag-rohit-sharm","11":"tag-rohit-sharma-news","12":"tag-rohit-sharma-shreyas-iyer","13":"tag-shreyas-iyer","14":"tag-shreyas-iyer-rohit-sharma","15":"tag-sports","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom","18":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220210","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=220210"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220210\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/220211"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=220210"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=220210"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=220210"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
