Team India players have reached Melbourne and are sweating out hard in the nets. Indian captain Rohit Sharma who hasn’t bowled for a lot of time in an international match was spotted trying his hands at spin bowling in the nets. However, the Melbourne Cricket Ground surface isn’t fit for the spinners and is more seam-friendly. With Ravichandran Ashwin retiring from international cricket and Tanush Kotian added to the squad, Rohit might not be seen bowling during the fourth Test but if needed he can roll his arms.
