India skipper Rohit Sharma is happy with their curtailed warm-up sport time after defeating the Australian Prime Minister’s XI by six wickets on the Manuka Oval on Sunday. The opening day of the two-day pink-ball match was washed out on account of rain and the match was diminished to 46-over per aspect with extra rain on the second day of the encounter. With Shubman Gill scoring a half-century after lacking the primary Check on account of a left thumb harm and Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul retaining their spot as openers regardless of Rohit’s return, India ticked all containers earlier than heading to the pink-ball Check in Adelaide, beginning on December 6.
“Yeah, it was fantastic. We got what we wanted as a group. But we were a little unlucky that we didn’t get the whole game. It was washed out the other day. But whatever time we got, we tried to make the most of it, and we got pretty much out of what we had in front of us,” Rohit stated after the match.
Rohit, who missed the Perth Check the place India secured a 295-run victory, was thrilled by the massive crowd that got here out to help throughout the warm-up match.
“It’s absolutely fantastic. You know, we love coming to Australia, and we love watching our fans come and support us. You know, there has never been a time where we’ve come here and, you know, the guys have not turned up for us. So it’s always nice to see people coming and supporting us. India,” Rohit added.
