‘Really surprised’: Hayden reacts to Rohit’s bold decision

Former Australian cricketer Matthew Hayden expressed bewilderment at Indian captain Rohit Sharma’s decision to bowl first in the Gabba Test. Hayden believed the pitch, despite recent rain, favoured batting initially and would likely deteriorate later, benefiting spinners. He anticipated the cracks to widen, making the surface challenging for batters as the match progressed.
