Matthew Hayden defended Rohit Sharma’s technique despite his twin failures in the Adelaide pink-ball Test, attributing his dismissals to challenging deliveries. Hayden praised Rohit’s relaxed batting style, comparing it to Mark Waugh and Shubman Gill. Australia, led by Travis Head’s blistering 140, dominated Day 2, gaining a substantial lead and leaving India struggling at 128-5 in their second innings.
