New Delhi. The third Test between India and Australia ended in a draw. Indian captain Rohit Sharma admitted that his batting form has been average recently but he is feeling good about his game, which raises hopes for the remaining two Tests of the Border Gavaskar Trophy. Rohit, who could not play the first Test in Perth due to the birth of his second child, has been able to score only 3, 6 and 10 runs on this tour. After the match, Rohit Sharma also remembered Pujara and Rahane.

After the third Test at Gaba was drawn, Rohit gave an honest answer to his batting and said, "I am not able to bat well. There is no harm in accepting this. But I know how I am preparing. There is no shortcoming in this, just need to stay on the crease for more time and it will happen soon. As long as my mind, my body and my feet are working well, I am happy. Many times the statistics make you feel that you have not played a big innings for a long time but for me it matters how I feel in my mind or how I am able to prepare. This is the most important thing.

Talking about Pujara and Rahane, Rohit said, "We have played so much together that when they leave, we miss them. We are always friends. We will not be together on tours but we will keep meeting. Ajinkya stays in Mumbai so I keep meeting him. Pujara stays hidden in Rajkot so we don't get to meet so much. If Ashwin is also with you, we will keep meeting. You put me in trouble by asking questions like Rahane has not retired (you will get me killed yaar). Pujara has also not retired. Both of them can make a comeback.

The celebrations in the Indian dressing room after avoiding the follow-on in the third Test have been criticised by Australian cricketers and media, but Rohit said there was nothing wrong in the celebrations at that time. He said, "It doesn't matter. I have played here so many times that I understand the mental battle. My personal opinion is that at that time we were behind in the game and avoiding the follow-on was a big thing for us. There is nothing wrong in celebrating it."
