As soon as the toss of the Melbourne Test came, the news came that Shubman Gill was not in the playing eleven, then the biggest question that arose was who would bat at number 3? Apart from this, a question also arose regarding Rohit that where will the captain bat? Now both these questions have been answered. As soon as the first day of the Melbourne Test ended, the assistant coach replied on Rohit's batting order. Abhishek Nair told in the press conference that captain Rohit Sharma is going to open in Melbourne.

Rohit will return to opening

Abhishek Nair told in the press conference that Rohit Sharma is going to open. This decision was taken even before the Melbourne Test. Rohit opening means that KL Rahul is going to bat at number 3. Whereas the pair of Yashasvi and Rohit will open. By the way, Melbourne's pitch is also the best for Rohit Sharma to open. The ball is not moving that much here. On the first day, Australian openers Constance and Usman Khawaja scored comfortably in the first session. A bowler like Bumrah also proved to be very expensive. Constas hit many shots which are played in T20.

Rohit is in bad form

Rohit Sharma is in very bad form. The year 2024 has been very disappointing for Rohit Sharma. In the Test format, this player has scored 607 runs in 14 matches at an average of only 26.39. Even on this tour, Rohit's footwork looks very bad. He did not play the first test. But in the next three innings this player has been able to score only 19 runs. Now it remains to be seen what kind of approach Rohit takes in opening in Melbourne.
