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 itâs only a matter of time and practice before they regain their rhythm.
Gavaskar defended the pair, stressing that adjusting to Perthâs bounce after such a long layoff was always going to be difficult.âThey were playing on probably the bounciest pitch in Australia. It wasnât going to be easy, especially for players who havenât played international cricket for a couple of months. It was challenging,â said Gavaskar.
