Hyderabad: New opening pair of Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill have once again provided a good stand with a 71-run partnership on the fourth day of the third Test. They have also scored 70 runs together for the first wicket in the first innings as well, thus becoming the first pair in 50 years to stitch back-to-back half-century partnerships for the first wicket in Australia.

Rohit Sharma scored 52 runs but fell at the fag end of the day. Former Indian cricketer Ajay Jadeja praised the opener for the knock. “Whenever you see his innings, you get enjoyment. He plays like an artist, and shot-making is easy for him. But the patience and perseverance he showed today was praiseworthy. The way he approached his innings, because there was a stage between the 18th and 24th over when the bowlers were on top. So you had to put in the effort at that time,” he said.

“You don’t see that from Rohit Sharma because he generally destroys the opposition. He took his game one level higher today, according to me, because daily you see a player if he has added anything. So, I liked a lot what we saw from Rohit Sharma today,” added Jadeja.
