The Indian cricket team has made a great start to the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. After winning the first test match in Perth, Team India, full of confidence, is preparing for the second test. However, a big tension for captain Rohit Sharma is whether he should play the opening himself or get KL Rahul to open. Let us tell you that Rohit was not with the team during the first test. He was in India due to the birth of his child and in his presence, Jasprit Bumrah took charge of the team. Whereas Rahul started the innings with Yashasvi Jaiswal.

Rahul looked in form in both the innings of the Perth Test. Rohit has returned for the second test, so after this the biggest tension for Team India is whether Rahul should open with Jaiswal or Rohit Sharma. When Rahul was asked about his batting position, he also gave a funny answer.

Rahul said- I am forbidden to tell

In the Perth Test, when the Indian team was reduced to 150 runs in the first innings, KL Rahul, while opening, played an inning of 24 runs in 76 balls. In the second innings, he scored 77 runs in 176 balls. However, due to Rohit's return, there is doubt about his batting position.

During the press conference, Rahul was asked about his batting position. He was asked, what will be your batting position in Adelaide Test? On this the wicketkeeper batsman said, 'I have been told, but I have also been told not to share it with you today. You either have to wait for the first day or maybe when the captain (Rohit Sharma) comes here tomorrow.

Rahul also opened against Australia PM XI

It is noteworthy that after winning the first Test in Perth, the Indian team played a two-day practice match against Australia Prime Minister's XI in Canberra. Even in the practice match, Rahul had opened with Jaiswal.
