Rohit Sharma orders the team bus to leave for the airport without Yashasvi Jaiswal
The Indian team bus was all set to leave the hotel at around 8:30 am, as per local time. The Rohit Sharma-led side started boarding the bus, but the opening batter, Yashasvi Jaiswal, wasn't anywhere near the scenes, and the entire team had to wait for the left-hander.

The pressure will be on skipper Rohit Sharma going into the Brisbane Test
The pressure will be on skipper Rohit Sharma going into the match. He has come under scrutiny following his poor outing with the bat. He pushed himself down the order to allow KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal to open the innings, but he struggled in the middle order.
Rohit Sharma bagged failures in both innings in Adelaide, but there have been various reports that claimed that he will continue batting in the middle order in Brisbane. He will have a massive opportunity to silence his critics and reply to everything with his bat.
India would be keen to win the third game, having lost the second Test badly. Also with crucial World Test Championship points around the corner, a loss would be hurting for them as it will almost eliminate them from the tournament.
