London: The Indian cricket team entered the final of the ICC World Test Championship as a contender for victory. One reason for that was the trinity of this team. That is, Captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara. These three batsmen are currently counted among the best batsmen. But all these three batsmen disappointed Team India on important occasions and got out by playing such shots which were very bad. Such shots were not expected from these three batsmen.

India had to score 444 runs to win the final of the ICC World Test Championship. Big innings were expected from these three batsmen, but all three made big mistakes in the second innings. Played shots that didn’t need to be played.

Rohit and Pujara divided

Team captain Rohit Sharma had the responsibility of giving a good start to the team in this match. But Rohit made a childish mistake. Pat Cummins called Nathan Lyon to bowl on the fourth day and he took Rohit’s wicket. Here Rohit played a sweep shot without understanding Lion’s balls, which was not needed at that time. Rohit missed taking the ball on the bat and became LBW. Rohit plays very few sweep shots but this time he went to play this shot without understanding the ball.

Pujara also played the shot which he does not play. Upper cut is not in Pujara’s dictionary but in the second innings, Pujara went to play the shot on Cummins’ bouncer and the ball took the edge of his bat and traveled to the gloves of wicketkeeper Alex Carey.

Kohli also made a mistake

When the Indian team landed on the field on the fifth day, its expectations were from Virat Kohli. Everyone knew that as long as Kohli is on the field, Team India can win but Kohli got out playing a very bad shot. Kohli went to play the drive on Scott Boland’s ball around the sixth stump and the ball took the edge of his bat and Steve Smith, standing in the second slip, took a brilliant catch. Kohli scored 49 runs.
