Former India head coach Ravi Shastri didn’t mince his words as he talked about Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara’s poor shot selection on Day 4.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n India\u2019s run-chase against Australia in the\u00a0World Test Championship<\/a>\u00a0got off to a brisk start, thanks to openers\u00a0Rohit Sharma\u00a0<\/a>and Shubman Gill. Chasing a mammoth 444-run target in the fourth innings, India needed all the runs they could get, and ensure that the Australian attack would have to earn their wickets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After Shubman Gill was dismissed to a sharp and controversial Cameron Green catch, however, the Indian batters made some errors in judgement that cost important wickets, placing Australia in an even stronger position. Former Indian player and recent coach Ravi Shastri took senior batters Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara to task for their poor decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sharma got out attempting a feeble sweep in Nathan Lyon\u2019s first over of the innings, getting caught in front LBW. Only a couple of overs later, Cheteshwar Pujara would try to play an uncharacteristic ramp shot, getting it terribly wrong and toe-ending it to wicketkeeper Alex Carey off the bowling of Pat Cummins. Both had been batting well and confidently: Sharma was dismissed for 43(60), and Pujara was looking set on a fluent 27(47).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
