(Image Source: https://metro.co.uk) India were bowled out for 109 on the first day of the third Test, with Matthew Hayden accusing Rohit Sharma of being "a bit complacent and arrogant" after his dismissal which sparked a collapse of 10 wickets for 82 runs. Australia, who are 2-0 up in the four-match series, responded to India's total by reaching 156-4 by the close of day one, leading by 47 runs thanks to Usman Khawaja's 60 and contributions from Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith. Hayden believes that Rohit's innings had a hint of "complacency and arrogance", with India already having retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy with emphatic wins in Nagpur and Delhi. He commented on Star Sports, "Winning the toss, you want to make a big impression, want to enforce that dominance onto Australia, who are depleted. They don’t have their captain, they don’t have David Warner. Lots to lose for them, including not being in that Test Championship [final]. I think [there was] maybe a little bit of complacency mixed with a little bit of arrogancy as well." After having Rohit stumped, Matthew Kuhnemann, who made his Test debut in the second match of the series, dismissed opener Shubman Gill before taking care of India's tail to finish with figures of 5-16 from nine overs.

Hayden suggested that there was a hint of 'complacency and arrogance' in Rohit's innings, with India having already secured the Border-Gavaskar Trophy with back-to-back wins in Nagpur and Delhi.
'I think there are some forgettable shots, no doubt about it,' Hayden said on Star Sports. 'Rohit Sharma – and I’ve always said this about Test match cricket – the captain leads from the front.
