Rohit Sharma reaction after india lost boxing day test: Indian team captain Rohit Sharma expressed his pain after the defeat against Australia in the Boxing Day Test match. Rohit said that Team India missed the opportunity, for which he is very sad. Rohit said that Team India had taken 6 wickets of Australia for 90 runs in the second innings of the fourth Test match played in Melbourne. But after this, the partnership for the last wicket eliminated Team India from the Test. For Australia, Nathan Lyon and Scott Boland strengthened their team by making a half-century partnership for the last wicket. Rohit regrets that his team gave opportunities to Australia due to which the host team gave a difficult target of 340.

Rohit Sharma said after the defeat, ‘We had taken six wickets of Australia till 90 runs. We knew that things would not be easy for us, but we wanted to show spirit even in difficult circumstances. However we failed to do so. After going to my room, I was thinking what more could we have done as a team. Whatever chances we created, we squandered them. They fought hard. Especially their partnership for the last wicket, perhaps that partnership decided the match. Took it away from us.

The Indian team has lagged 1-2 in the 5-match Test series. The fifth and last Test match of the series will be played in Sydney from January 03. Rohit, who was struggling to score runs himself, said in the press conference after the match, ‘It is mentally disturbing when you are not able to do what you have come to do.

Australia was struggling in its second innings at 90 runs for six wickets and at that time on Sunday their total lead had not yet reached 200. However, due to the struggle of the tail batsmen, the team was successful in giving India the target of 340 runs. Rohit admitted that his team could not take advantage of the favorable situation.

‘We knew that scoring 340 runs would not be easy’
Rohit said that the team wanted to achieve the target despite difficult circumstances. He said, ‘We knew that scoring 340 runs would not be easy. We tried to set a platform and save wickets for the last two sessions, but they also bowled well. We wanted to reach the target, but we could not prepare a platform for it. This Mumbai player praised Nitish Kumar Reddy for scoring a brilliant century during the first innings and expressed hope that the young player will continue to progress like this in his career.

‘Nitish Kumar Reddy showed passion’
Rohit said about Nitish Kumar Reddy, ‘He has come here for the first time. These conditions can be really difficult but he has shown great spirit and solid technique. He has everything to succeed at this level, I hope he will get stronger and he will also get full support from the team. The 37-year-old also praised fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah for leading the Indian bowling attack almost single-handedly.

‘Bumrah just wants to play for the country and perform well for the team’
Rohit said, ‘Absolutely fantastic, we have been watching him for many years. He enters the field and completes his work. He doesn’t want to focus on statistics. He just wants to play for the country and perform well for the team, but unfortunately he is not getting much support from the other end.
