NEW DELHI: Former India head coach and cricketer Ravi Shastri is famous for his energetic and passionate commentary, which adds an electrifying touch to the cricket field. At the toss during the second Test between India and Australia in Adelaide, Shastri once again showcased his charismatic style. His lively and humorous commentary made the atmosphere even more exciting.
As Shastri spoke, India captain Rohit Sharma, standing next to Australia’s Pat Cummins, couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Cummins, too, was seen smiling, clearly enjoying the vibrant energy Shastri brought to the occasion.
Rohit won the toss and opted to bat in the pink ball Test against Australia.
India made three changes with Rohit, Shubman Gill and Ravichandran Ashwin returning to the playing XI, replacing Devdutt Padikkal, Dhruv Jurel and Washington Sundar.
For Australia, Scott Boland replaced injured pace-bowling colleague Josh Hazlewood.
India lead the five-match series 1-0 after winning the first Test in Perth by 295 runs.
