    Rohit Sharma’s Captaincy Was Very, Very Average, Says Michael Vaughan After India’s 28-run Loss To England

    Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: After India's 28-run defeat to England in the Test series opener at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, former captain Michael Vaughan said Rohit Sharma’s captaincy was very, very average, adding that he hardly had any answers to Ollie Pope’s magnificent 196.

    Vice-captain Pope’s magnificent 196 helped England, who had conceded 190 runs lead, make 420 in their second innings, setting India a target of 231. In reply, India were bowled out for 202, slumping to a 28-run defeat and now going 1-0 behind in the five-game series.

    England were at 163/5 in their second innings, but Pope stepped in to play one of the greatest innings by any England batter in Tests in India. He used the sweep to a very good effect, dismantling the Indian spinners in an attacking fashion to his 21 boundaries in his 278-ball vigil at the crease.
