Five members of the Indian cricket team arrived here from their Australia tour on Thursday morning and they have been advised to remain in seven-day home quarantine, officials said.

Rohit appears to imitate Steve Smith on the crease after the star Aussie batsman stirred controversy by allegedly scuffing off Rishabh Pant's crease while shadow batting in Sydney Test.

Rohit had actually played a similar shot against Lyon in Sydney as well, albeit successfully to complete his maiden half-century on overseas soil as an opener.

Former India skipper Sunil Gavaskar was also frustrated after watching Rohit's 'irresponsible' shot.

Arriving in Australia only as a net bowler, 29-year-old Natarajan became the first Indian cricketer to make his international debut across all three formats during the same tour.

Rohit had attempted to clear the midwicket region but succumbed to the flighted delivery from Lyon, and eventually miscued the shot.

Sunil Gavaskar lashed out at Rohit Sharma for his shot selection during Day 2 of the ongoing Brisbane Test.

Rohit Sharma went for a lofted shot off Nathan Lyon but mistimed it, throwing away an impressive start on Day 2 of the final Test in Brisbane.

India's Rohit Sharma was alert at slips to dismiss Australia captain Tim Paine, immediately after he reached his ninth half-century in Tests.

The pair became the first from the subcontinent to add 50+ runs for the first wicket across the two innings in this century.

Jasprit Bumrah remained out of luck as Hanuma Vihari and Rohit Sharma dropped regulation catches off his bowling on Day 4 of Sydney Test.

Josh Hazlewood took his 300th international wicket as he dismissed Indian opener Rohit Sharma on Day 2 of the third Test in Sydney.

As Rohit Sharma charged down the track to hit Nathan Lyon for a six, he reached a new milestone in international cricket.

On the first day of the on-going Sydney Test, the hosts ended up scoring 166/2, with debutant Will Pucovski and Marnus Labuschagne notching up half-centuries.

If Rahane's side can go 2-1 up and ensure the retention of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, it will be one of the finest hours in the history of Indian cricket. 

Amid Cheteshwar Pujara's lean patch, Rohit will be entrusted to strengthen the batting unit with young Shubman Gill at the top.
