Rohit Sharma will not open?
From the statement given by Rahul (KL Rahul), it has become clear that the team management has decided which batsman will be given a chance at which position. But the official statement on this is yet to come. However, there is a possibility that KL Rahul will be seen opening in the second Test against Australia. Because he opened with Jaiswal in the Prime Minister’s 11. Rohit played at number four. But Kohli will play in the Adelaide Test. Therefore, it is difficult for Rohit to play at number four.
Will Rohit play in place of Dhruv Jurel?
If Rahul (KL Rahul) opens, then it is difficult for Rohit Sharma to play at number five because Rishabh Pant is very good at this number. In such a situation, there will be no change in his position. In such a situation, Rohit can be seen playing at number six, where Dhruv Jurel plays. But his performance has not been good. Therefore, he can be dropped. Rohit can get this chance.
