The Adelaide Test between India and Australia will start from 6 December. Before this match, captain Rohit Sharma has made a big announcement that he will not open in this match. Rohit told that like the Perth Test, only KL Rahul will open in this match. However, while confirming that KL Rahul would be kept in the opening slot, such a lie was spread against captain Rohit Sharma which you will be stunned to know. It is being claimed that Rohit Sharma has said that the top order may fail in this pink ball test, hence he is playing in the middle order. He does not want to be a part of the failure of the top order.

Rohit did not say anything like that

Don't be surprised, Rohit Sharma has not said anything like this. People are spreading falsehood on Twitter in his name. In this tweet it was claimed that Rohit Sharma was asked that you are an opener but still why do you want to play in the middle order.

Question: Why did you prefer to bat in the middle order despite you being an opener?

Rohit Sharma: I feel there might be a collapse in our top order in the pink test match and I don't want to be the part of the collapse.

However, Rohit Sharma has definitely said that he does not want to tamper with the batting order of the team, hence KL Rahul will open and he himself will play in the middle order. However, Rohit did not say whether he would play at number five or number six in the middle order. It is possible that Rohit may come out to bat depending on the situation.

Rohit praised Harshit-Reddy

Rohit Sharma praised young players Harshit Rana and Nitish Reddy in the press conference held in Adelaide. Rohit said, 'It never occurred to me that Harshit and Nitish Rana were playing their first match in Perth. His body language looked quite good. If you want to win a Test series, you need players like this. Rohit also praised Pant and Jaiswal a lot. He said, 'Jaiswal and Gill both are players of different generations. When we first came to Australia, we used to think about how to score runs. But these players play only to win the match. His biggest focus is on winning the match.
