Team India entered the first match of the 5-Test Border-Gavaskar Trophy without Rohit Sharma. But only Rohit Sharma will command the team in Adelaide Test. To prepare for the Pink Ball Test, Team India is playing a two-day warm-up match against Prime Minister X1 in Canberra. Team India has got only 1 day's time to decide its batting combination. Due to this, the team also has to solve the problem of playing-11. In such a situation, Indian captain Rohit Sharma has taken a big decision, which has given a big indication regarding the playing 11.

Rohit Sharma's big decision

In place of Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul had opened with Yashasvi Jaiswal in the first match, so the biggest question is that where will Rahul play after Rohit's return? The answer to this question has been found somewhere in the warm-up match. Actually, in this match, KL Rahul has started the innings along with Yashasvi Jaiswal, which means a similar scene can be seen in Adelaide also. KL Rahul had scored 26 runs in the first innings of Perth Test and 77 runs in the second innings. He was seen in great control in this match, so Rohit can sacrifice his control in the Adelaide Test.

This sight can be seen after 6 years

Let us tell you, Rohit Sharma did not start his international career as an opener. He used to play for Team India only in the middle order or lower order. He started opening in Tests from the year 2019. Since then, he has been continuously opening in Tests. Let us tell you, Rohit last played a Test match for Team India without an opener in the year 2018. Then Rohit played at number six in Melbourne during the 2018 Australia tour. Now after 6 years, he can once again be seen playing in Australia without opening.

Let us tell you, Rohit has played a total of 27 matches in Tests without an opener, during which he has scored 1585 runs in 47 innings at an average of 39.62. Which includes 10 half-centuries and 3 centuries. At the same time, he has played 37 Test matches as an opener, during which he has scored 2685 runs in 64 innings at an average of 44.01, which also includes 8 half-centuries and 9 centuries. That means as an opener his statistics are quite good. But considering the importance of the series, he may be seen making changes.
