Rohit take horrendous review, IND vs AUS: When the footage was displayed on the big screen, Indian fielders Jadeja and Rohit giggled. Kettleborough, the field umpire, was unable to control his emotions either. As third umpire Jayaraman Madanagopal ordered him to stick with his on-field ruling of not out, he also was spotted grinning.
Indian bowlers really aren’t accustomed to going extended stretches at home without a wicket. Typically, Mohammad Shami, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ravichandran Ashwin run through the competition and take a bunch of wickets.
In that sense, the fourth Test match between Australia and India in Ahmedabad was a total departure. The Indian bowlers were held at bay first by Usman Khawaja and Steve Smith, then by Khawaja and Cameron Green.
On the finest batting surface of the Border Gavaskar Trophy, two wicketless innings have been endured by the Rohit Sharma-led team thus far. They were thus obliged to act strangely. Strange may be a strong word, but there are few other adjectives that can describe what happened in the 128th over of the Australian innings.

For the first time in the series—which hasn’t resulted in one Test that stretched into the fourth day—there was discussion of a team batting out the rivals after Cameron Green and Usman Khawaja made the Indian attack seem so unimpressive.
IND vs AUS: Match Highlights
Rohit Sharma, the captain of India, and his spinners must have felt the effects of it. In vain, they hoped. Everything that was being offered, they wanted to hold onto. The final ball of the 128th over was when that there is something appeared.
Usman Khawaja was effectively restrained by Ravindra Jadeja. He bowled wide outside the off stump from over the wicket. And persuaded him to shoulder his hands to a tossed-up drive.
That smacked him much outside the area of the wickets, but Khawaja was not giving a shot, so Jadeja and the close-in position players resisted the urge to challenge. Umpire Richard Kettleborough quickly put an end to the commotion.
Replays supported it. The ball might well have continued to go far over the off stump. When the replay was presented on the big screen, the Indian fielders laughed. Kettleborough, the field umpire, was unable to control his feelings either. As the third umpire, Jayaraman Madanagopal ordered him to stick with his on-field ruling of not out. He also was spotted grinning.
The seasoned off-spinner then struck out Mitchell Starc for six. Shreyas Iyer made a quick grab at the short leg after the left-powerful hander’s shot caught the ball on the inside edge. But Khawaja persisted in batting like a man on a mission. He led Australia over the 400-run threshold.
