NEW DELHI: Team India banning fans from attending net sessions in Australia became a big talking point, but what made the management take the decision? Skipper Rohit Sharma<\/a> shed light on it.
Rohit explained that all discussions during practice sessions are meant to remain private, and the team wanted to avoid any public interference.
The Indian team’s net session in Adelaide was initially open to the public ahead of the pink-ball Test. However, Team India decided to ban open net sessions during their Australia tour after chaotic incidents, including reports of players facing insensitive comments from spectators in the stands.<\/p>\n

“You know, the net sessions are very private, and this was the first time ever I saw so many people during the nets. When you’re training, when you’re practising, there are a lot of conversations that happen, and those conversations are very private. We don’t want anyone to hear those conversations. It is as simple as that because there’s a lot of planning,” Rohit said at a press conference after the second Test.
“There’s a lot of talking that happens. And the crowds are very close to that practice facility. There are five days of Test cricket. They can come and watch us there,” he added.<\/p>\n

Australia drew level in the five-match series with an emphatic 10-wicket victory over India in the day-night Test. This was the shortest-ever Test between India and Australia in terms of balls bowled.
Australia also maintained their tremendous record in day-night Tests, bouncing back in style after their Perth debacle. They have now won 12 of the 13 day-night games they have played, losing only one pink ball Test in their history — against the West Indies.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
