Australian media targeted Indian skipper Rohit Sharma, branding him "Captain Cry Baby" after his outburst at Yashasvi Jaiswal during Day 4 of the fourth Test against Australia. Jaiswal dropped three catches, including crucial ones of Marnus Labuschagne and Pat Cummins. Rohit’s visible frustration drew criticism from commentators and former cricketers. Mike Hussey condemned Rohit’s reaction, stressing the importance of supporting young players under pressure. Alyssa Healy emphasized the need for team unity, while Darren Berry suggested Jaiswal requires encouragement, not berating. The incident overshadowed India’s gritty battle on the field as they prepared for a challenging chase.
