Ahead of the third Test in Indore, India were leading the series 2-0. The home team was bowled out for just 109 in their first innings but managed to restrict Australia to 197. Cheteshwar Pujara and Axar Patel’s partnership frustrated the Indian captain, who was caught on camera visibly upset in the dressing room.
“We wanted to get Nathan Lyon off the track a little bit. We wanted to get some runs quickly. We probably were looking at declaring or something. We were like... ‘no, something needs to change now. Maybe, a message would do good’. The entire time, he was bowling with mid-on up. I was like, he's not that good of a bowler to keep mid-on up. I know it was a challenge, the pitch was turning square but we needed to get runs quickly. So I had to send Ishan,” Rohit said.
