Rohit Sharma is known as an aggressive captain. He keeps talking continuously during captaincy and is full of energy. His words have been captured in the stump mic many times and this shows how Rohit throws himself into the match, but after the defeat against Australia in the Adelaide Test match, the former coach of India has pointed out the lack of all these things in Rohit.

AUS vs IND: Is Rohit Sharma open in the third Test match?

According to Ravi Shastri, Rohit was very upset in Adelaide. Shastri has said that he wants to see Rohit as aggressive as before and as active on the field as before. Shastri said that Rohit should not have done this because it affects the team. He said that Team India can make a comeback from here and win the series.

Shastri's statement about Rohit

Speaking on Star Sports, Shastri said, 'So I want to see him at the top. He will be aggressive there as well and will be able to express himself. I thought Rohit's body language was a bit sluggish. He did not score runs and he did not look very active on the field either. I want to see him a bit more active in the match. You have to believe that you can still come back.' The former coach said, 'You have seen between these two teams that the counter punch comes immediately. This has been seen in the last 10 years. You lose one match and win the next. But you have to believe.'

Rohit Sharma should open the innings

Shastri said that India should learn something from Australia and work on its weaknesses. He also said that Rohit should open again and Rahul should play in the middle order. Shastri said, 'I remember what Cummins said in Perth. He said that we did not play well, but we are not as bad as the scorecard shows. I think India can learn from this. Rahul can go back to the middle order, if Rohit was in the first match, he would have played in the middle order.'
