Team India captain Rohit Sharma has ended the suspense of the Indian opening pair a day before the Adelaide Test. He said- ‘I will bat in the middle order and KL Rahul will open.’
The 37-year-old Indian captain is returning from the match starting on 6 December. He was on parental leave and could not play in the Perth Test. In his absence, KL Rahul opened with Yashasvi Jaiswal. He scored 77 runs in the second innings and also made a record opening partnership of 201 runs.
After this, many cricket experts including Cheteshwar Pujara and Ravi Shastri had asked Rahul to open the innings. The Indian team is leading 1-0 in the 5-match series. India won the Perth Test by 295 runs.
There was an opening partnership of 201 runs between Jaiswal and Rahul in the Perth Test.
Rohit said- It is not right to change the pairing of Perth Test
We want results and success. I was at home. It was nice to see Rahul batting. The way Rahul has batted abroad, he has become eligible to open. In Perth, you make such a big partnership with Yashasvi…if close to 500 runs are scored then it is not right to change that partnership. It was a difficult decision for me personally, but an easy decision for the team.
want to enjoy pink ball test
On playing in the middle order in the practice match, Rohit said, it was a practice match, I am not paying much attention to it. I just wanted to experience the pink ball.
Rohit praised Rana and Reddy
Rohit praised Harshit Rana and Nitish Reddy. He said- ‘Looking at Harshit and Nitish, it did not seem as if this was their first match. His body language looked fantastic. When you want to win big series you need these players.
Harshit Rana took 4 wickets in his debut test.
Difficult decision to keep Ashwin and Jadeja out On the question of Ashwin and Jadeja, Rohit said- ‘It is very difficult to keep them out. Both of them are better players and hopefully they will play a big role in the upcoming matches in the series.
