Vice-captain Virat Kohli made some effort to acknowledge the people by signing a few autographs through the fence for the dozens shut out on Driver Avenue. The rest of his teammates simply retreated to the dressing rooms, reports news.com.au.
A whopping 70 percent of Wednesday’s capacity crowd are estimated to be Indians.
Asked why his skipper was absent from his obligatory pre-match press conference, his replacement Rohit Sharma was unable to provide a plausible explanation. Asked if there was anything wrong with Dhoni, Sharma replied, “He’s fine.”
