For someone who has always disapproved of any sort of comparisons, legendary India batsman Sachin Tendulkar said that he didn't want to compare the leadership styles of Ajinkya Rahane and Virat Kohli. "People shouldn't get into comparisons with Virat. Ajinkya has a different personality. His intent was aggressive," said Tendulkar. One of the biggest reasons for India's victory, according to Tendulkar, was the presence of three multi-dimensional cricketers in the middle and lower-middle order.
India star Rohit Sharma has joined the Indian team here after completing his two-week quarantine in Sydney, strengthening the visitors who are in a commanding position after beating Australia in a comprehensive way in the Boxing Day Test.

The MCG, venue of the just-concluded second Test, was put on standby to potentially host back-to-back matches.
Rohit Sharma, who has recovered from a hamstring injury and is under quarantine in Sydney, will join the Indian team in Melbourne on Wednesday.
