Adelaide, Oct 21: Cricket great Sunil Gavaskar has backed Indian stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to bounce back strongly in the second ODI against Australia in Adelaide after their disappointing returns in Perth.Gavaskar said it would be no surprise if the two senior batters deliver big scores, insisting that it’s only a matter of time and practice before they regain their rhythm.
Gavaskar defended the pair, stressing that adjusting to Perth’s bounce after such a long layoff was always going to be difficult.“They were playing on probably the bounciest pitch in Australia. It wasn’t going to be easy, especially for players who haven’t played international cricket for a couple of months. It was challenging,” said Gavaskar.
