Adelaide: Indian skipper Rohit Sharma was reportedly left irate after young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal arrived late for the team's departure to Brisbane.

According to Sports Tak, the incident unfolded as the team prepared to leave their hotel at 8:30 AM for a 10:00 AM flight ahead of the third Test.

Despite the team, including head coach Gautam Gambhir, waiting on the bus, Jaiswal failed to appear on time. After a delay of about 20 minutes, the bus departed without him. The 21-year-old eventually arrived at the hotel lobby to find the team gone.

A separate car, pre-arranged by the management, ferried Jaiswal to the airport accompanied by a senior security officer. Rohit was reportedly frustrated by the disruption, as the team's punctuality is considered crucial during tours.

This incident apparently highlights the importance of discipline in a tightly scheduled international cricket itinerary.
