AUS vs IND: Questions raised on Rohit’s captaincy, public criticism

Nathan Lyon questioned Rahul

As soon as Rahul came to bat at No. 3, Lion asked him, “What did you do wrong that you had to bat at No. 1?” This statement by Nathan Lyon was a sarcasm on Rohit Sharma’s decision to return to the opening position.

Actually, Rohit batted at number 6 in the second and third test matches, while KL Rahul was playing the responsibility of opening. But, in the fourth Test, Rohit decided to open again, due to which Rahul had to bat at number 3. For this, Shubman Gill, who was batting at number 3 till now, had to sit out.

However, this decision did not show any significant impact. Rohit was out after scoring 3 runs. At the same time, Rahul also returned to the pavilion on 24 runs.

This comment by Nathan Lyon was part of the light-hearted atmosphere during the game, but there was a lot of discussion about it on social media.
