The second test match between India and Australia (IND vs AUS) for the Border Gavaskar Trophy will be played in Adelaide. This match is scheduled to start from 6th December. But even before the match starts, trouble has arisen for Rohit Sharma. Considering the way Team India won in Perth, it will be difficult for the management to make changes in the second test. But, with Rohit Sharma’s entry in the team, the management will have to take this risk to include him in the final eleven of Adelaide, because not only has he been playing the role of an opener but he is also the regular captain of the Indian team.
How will the management remove the captain?
Team India captain Rohit Sharma was out of the Perth Test due to personal reasons. But now he has reached Australia to take part in the second Test. The whole team performed brilliantly in the first match and Bumrah bowled brilliantly under his captaincy. Now if Rohit Sharma enters Adelaide, he will captain the team and due to him KL Rahul will once again have to bat in the lower order.
But Rahul had batted brilliantly while opening, so doing so could be a risky decision for Team India. In such a situation, if we look at the overall performance of Team India in the last test, then there is no place for Hitman in the playing eleven. However, this will be the final decision of the management.
What will be the strategy for the pink ball test?
The second test to be held in Adelaide will be played with a pink ball as it will be a night match. The incident of being all out for 36 runs during the last tour of Australia happened in a pink ball test on this ground. This time Team India will have to come on the field with new strategies so that they can win this match and strengthen their hold on the series. It will be very interesting to see what decision the team management takes regarding Rohit Sharma. Will he get a place in the final eleven or will the captain have to sit out, everyone will be watching this.
