Three shots that sank India in fourth Test
Financial Express Mumbai
|December 31, 2024
"AAJ KAYA pehle waala? (Today's or the previous one?)," Rohit Sharma queried when a question was asked about Rishabh Pant's shot in the final session on the final day that changed the game, even as India plunged to a 184-run defeat to Australia, bundled for 155 chasing 339 in the fourth innings at Melbourne.
Rohit went on to talk about how Pant, who had pulled a short ball from the irregular spinner Travis Head down the throat of the long-on fielder, has to "understand what is required from him, more than anyone else telling him...what is the risk percentage? He has to figure that out. Do you want to let the opposition back into the game?"
Perfectly valid observations, only that two other people in the team need to ask those questions to themselves: Rohit himself and Virat Kohli.
Three shots, three mental errors, turned the game around as India let slip a draw from their hands and allowed Australia to wrap a stunning win in front of a spellbound crowd that hung on to every twist and turn. India could have headed to Sydney, with a chance to win the series, but they still have the chance to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy if they win the next game.
