Former India captain and opening batsman Sunil Gavaskar criticised the shot, calling it 'irresponsible' shot from an experienced player.
India got another injury scare when opening batsman Rohit Sharma was seen limping immediately after holing out to long on just before tea on the second day of the fourth and final Test at the Gabba on Saturday.
Rohit had got off to a flying start, hitting six fours during his 74-ball stay at the crease for 44 runs but just when he looked like he would get to his half-century, the right-handed batsman was dismissed off the bowling of Nathan Lyon.
Former India captain and opening batsman Sunil Gavaskar criticised the shot, calling it 'irresponsible' shot from an experienced player.
"That's an unbelievable and irresponsible shot from Rohit Sharma. You've just hit a boundary a couple of deliveries earlier, why would you play that? You're a senior player, there's no excuse for this. Absolutely no excuse for this shot. An unnecessary wicket gifted away, what a waste of wicket. This is Test match cricket. You have a start. You have to convert it into a big hundred," Sunil Gavaskar said on Channel 7.
