Team India, which started with a win in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, was defeated by Australia by 10 wickets in the second match of the series. Team India entered the first match without Rohit Sharma. In such a situation, KL Rahul had opened in his place along with Yashasvi Jaiswal. KL Rahul had scored 26 runs in the first innings of Perth Test and 77 runs in the second innings. In this match, he looked quite in control, hence Rohit sacrificed his batting position for the Adelaide Test and played in the middle order. But in the Adelaide Test, neither Rohit's bat nor Rahul could repeat the feat of Perth.

What will Rohit do after Adelaide's failure?

The batsmen had the biggest role in Team India's defeat in the Adelaide Test. Indian batsmen were reduced to a score of less than 200 runs in both the innings. KL Rahul failed to give a good start to the team in both the innings. At the same time, Rohit also could not handle the innings in the middle order. In such a situation, the biggest question now is whether Rohit Sharma will continue to play in the middle order or will he enter the next match as an opening batsman. The third match of the series is to be played at the Brisbane Cricket Ground, commonly known as Gabba.

Didn't get any benefit from changing batting position in Adelaide

In the Adelaide Test, KL Rahul faced 64 balls in the first innings and scored 37 runs with the help of 6 fours. At the same time, in the second innings he could play only 10 balls and returned to the pavilion after scoring 7 runs. That means Rahul could not do much in both the innings. On the other hand, Rohit Sharma, who came to play in the middle order after many years, was able to score only 3 runs on 23 balls in the first innings and lost his wicket after scoring 6 runs on 15 balls in the second innings.

Rohit Sharma is surrounded by questions

Rohit Sharma is under the scanner after the Adelaide Test defeat. As captain, he has been a continuous flop in the last few matches. They have lost the last four tests. At the same time, no big innings are being seen from his bat either. There is also pressure on him to score runs with the bat. In such a situation, Rohit Sharma can be seen opening once again, because his figures as an opener are much better. Apart from this, he has played as an opener in Tests for the last 6 years, hence he has become accustomed to playing with the new ball.

Rohit's excellent figures with the new ball

Let us tell you, Rohit has played a total of 27 matches in Tests without being an opener, during which he has scored 1594 runs in 47 innings. Which includes 10 half-centuries and 3 centuries. During this period his average has also been less than 40. 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 his figures as an opener are quite good.
