India suffered a 28-run defeat in the first Test of the home series once morest England. This is the first home match in which India lost a lead of 190 runs following the first innings.
Michael Vaughan says Rohit Sharma is the reason for India’s defeat. Vaughan said the match would not have been lost if Virat Kohli had been the captain.
Virat Kohli’s captaincy in Test cricket is a big loss for them. India would not have lost the game under Virat’s captaincy,’ Vaughan said at the Club Prairie Fire show.
“Rohit is a legend and a great player. But I felt he was completely switched off,’ added the former England player.
Michael Vaughan limited Rohit’s captaincy to a low average and talked regarding it.
“I believe Rohit Sharma’s captaincy is below average. I felt he was defending instead of planning ahead. It was evident in the change of field and bowling. He struggled to deal with Olly Pope’s sweeps and reverse sweeps,’ Verne added.
Batting first, England scored 246 runs on the board. India without Virat Kohli, Yashaswi Jaiswal, K.L. 436 runs scored on the strength of Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja.
