What wrong decision did Rohit take?

Rohit Sharma said that we have batted very poorly in the first innings. As a captain, I am feeling very sad. But I would also like to say that one of my wrong decisions played a big role in this.

What did the captain say on the batting order?

Shubman Gill is not playing in this test. Therefore, a lot of changes were seen in the Indian batting lineup. Virat Kohli came to bat at number 3 and Sarfaraz Khan at number 4. On this Rohit Sharma said that Gill is not playing in this match. Therefore, who will bat at number 3 was a big question but Kohli himself took the responsibility and agreed to bat at number 3, which made our job easier. Sarfaraz and Rahul who are batting at number 6. There is no problem in that. We are giving them chances on this number.

India scattered on just 46
