Sat Dec 07 13:10:38 UTC 2024: ## Rohit Sharma’s Poor Performance Mars India’s Warm-up Match
**Perth, Australia:** India’s warm-up match against the Prime Minister’s XI ahead of the second Test against Australia got off to a rocky start for the Indian team. Captain Rohit Sharma, batting at number four after relinquishing his opening spot to KL Rahul, managed only 3 runs off 11 balls before being dismissed by Charlie Anderson.
Rain curtailed the two-day warm-up match to 46 overs, with the first day completely washed out. India, after winning the toss and electing to bowl, restricted the Prime Minister’s XI to 240 runs in 43.2 overs, thanks to a stellar performance by Harish Rana (4/44). Sam Constanti (107) and Hanno Jacobs (61) were the top scorers for the PM XI.
In response, India reached 152/2 in 30 overs at stumps, still trailing by 88 runs. Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 45, while KL Rahul retired hurt on 27. Shubman Gill (36) and Nitish Kumar Reddy (26) were at the crease at the close of play.
The warm-up match, played under lights with a pink ball, serves as preparation for the second Test, commencing on December 6th. India won the first Test in Perth by 295 runs. The remaining text is unrelated and contains snippets from other news stories and irrelevant content.
