NEW DELHI: Team India, captained by Rohit Sharma, left Canberra on Monday for the Adelaide Test, which will begin on December 6, following their participation in the two-day warm-up match against the Prime Minister’s XI.
In the warm-up match on Sunday, India defeated Australia’s Prime Ministers’ XI by five wickets at Canberra’s Manuka Oval thanks to a four-wicket haul from bowler Harshit Rana and fine knocks from Shubman Gill, Nitish Kumar Reddy, and Yashasvi Jaiswal.
Captain Rohit and top India bowler Mohammed Siraj were spotted grabbing photographs with the crowd outside the team hotel in Canberra as they were leaving.

Along with other players, top batter Shubman Gill and assistant coach Abhishek Nayar were also seen leaving the team hotel for Adelaide.
On Sunday, after KL Rahul retired out for 27, Rohit came in at No. 4. He looked rusty, lasted just 11 balls before nicking one to the ‘keeper off medium-pacer Charlie Anderson.
It didn’t stop India from winning easily by five wickets, but it was obvious that the captain still needed some time in the middle.
