IND vs AUS , Cheteshwar Pujara vs Rohit Sharma : Captain Rohit Sharma is continuously struggling in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. He scored only 10 runs in the first innings of the Gaba Test match. Along with Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli's bat is also silent. He has also done nothing except scoring a century in one innings of the Adelaide Test. At the same time, former Indian batsman Cheteshwar Pujara says that the Indian captain's changing batting order is disturbing his rhythm.

It is noteworthy that instead of opening, Rohit Sharma is now coming at number 6. He missed the first match of the series due to personal reasons. After failing in both the innings of the second Test match, he has failed in another innings. Pujara believes that batting in the middle order instead of opening can affect the momentum of the player.

Talking about Rohit's latest way of getting out, Pujara told Star Sports, "It was not a length ball that you could drive. Even driving a full length ball is not easy here. Rohit was trying to punch the ball. He should have defended the ball. Right now he is not getting runs, due to which there is pressure on him."

Pujara further said that Rohit used to be an opener, now he is batting at number 6. Doing this does not help you in batting, doing this also does not give you rhythm.

At the same time, after Rohit was out early in the match, the excellent batting of KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja helped India cross the 200 mark. A half-century partnership was seen between KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja. Experienced off-spinner Nathan Lyon ended this partnership by getting Rahul caught out by Steve Smith on a personal score of 84 runs. Rahul hit 8 fours in his innings of 139 balls. Ravindra Jadeja's innings of 77 runs was ended by Pat Cummins. Jadeja hit 7 fours and 1 six in 123 balls.

After this, Jaspreet Bumrah (10) and Akash Deep (27) added 39 runs for the last wicket and saved India from follow-on. At present, this rain-affected match seems to be heading towards a draw. In such a situation, Australia will try to immediately collapse the Indian innings and put India into the fourth innings as quickly as possible by batting fast.
