Rohit Sharma Shattered, India's Pink Ball Nightmare: What Went Horribly Wrong in Adelaide?

Rohit Sharma is undoubtedly one of the most destructive batsmen in the world of cricket. With a plethora of records under his belt, Rohit was expected to lead the Indian team to victory in the first test match against Australia in Adelaide.

However, things didn't quite go as planned. Rohit's disappointing performance, coupled with the Indian team's inexperience of handling the pink ball, has left fans and critics alike scratching their heads.

The Indian team, despite having some of the most talented players in the world, failed to deliver when it mattered most. Rohit Sharma's flop show was one of the major reasons behind India's dismal performance in the first test match.

The 32-year-old Indian skipper scored a mere 37 runs in the first innings, falling prey to the Australian bowling attack. His dismissal not only triggered a collapse in the Indian batting line-up but also left the team reeling.

However, Rohit Sharma's failure was not the only reason behind India's poor performance. The pink ball, which was introduced in 2015, has been a thorn in the flesh for the Indian team. The team's inexperience of handling the pink ball has been a major factor in their poor performance.

The pink ball swings more than the red ball, making it difficult for the batsmen to anticipate its trajectory. The Indian team, which has been used to playing with the red ball, found it difficult to adjust to the pink ball. The team's poor performance is a testament to the fact that they still have a lot to learn when it comes to handling the pink ball.

Another major reason behind India's poor performance was the team's lack of experience in playing in Australian conditions. The Indian team, which has been playing in Indian conditions for most of the year, found it difficult to adjust to the fast and bouncy Australian pitches.

Despite the disappointments, there were a few positives for the Indian team. Jasprit Bumrah, the 27-year-old Indian pacer, was a force to be reckoned with in the first test match. His ability to swing the pink ball and extract bounce from the pitch made him a nightmare for the Australian batsmen.

Overall, the first test match between India and Australia was an eye-opener for the Indian team. Rohit Sharma's flop show, the team's inexperience of handling the pink ball, and the lack of experience in playing in Australian conditions are some of the major areas that the team needs to work on if they want to stay in the series.
