Rohit missed India's comprehensive victory in the opening test in Perth to care for his newborn son and commentators found his captaincy in Adelaide, where Australia triumphed by 10 wickets, rather defensive. "There is no doubt that when a player scores runs, he makes better decisions. Let's hope that Rohit Sharma scores some runs so that his captaincy gets better."
"When a captain is out of form, it affects his captaincy as well," Pujara told the broadcaster. He also advised Rohit, a naturally attacking opener, to shun risks early in his knock."He should focus on getting his first 20 or 30 runs steadily. After that, he can capitalise on the start and convert it into a big score."
