It is now less than 24 hours away from the second match of the five-match Test series between India and Australia. The match will be played at Adelaide’s historic stadium on December 6. It will be a pink ball Test and will be played during the day and night. At the same time, before the game, there was also suspense about who would start for the Indian team in this game. But just a day before the match, captain Rohit Sharma came and almost revealed it. He had a lot to say about the partnership of KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal.
Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul laid the foundation for India’s victory.
Rohit Sharma missed the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Jasprit Bumrah captained the team in that match. KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal opened for India. The pair did not have any special performance in the first game, but in the second game, the two teamed up to set a new record of more than 200 points. Now Rohit Sharma returns as captain for the second game. In this case, there is a question on everyone’s mind these days: Who will open the show? Yashasvi Jaiswal will surely be the opener, but who will play alongside him?
Rohit Sharma will bat in the middle order, again with the same opening pair.
When captain Rohit Sharma spoke to the media on Thursday, a day before the match, the biggest question was this. To this, Rohit Sharma gave a clear answer. Rohit Sharma said KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal made a winning partnership for us. In this case, there seems to be no need for any change. It was in the best interest of the team and a very easy decision. This means that in the next game, Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul will also feature and Rohit Sharma will bat in the middle order. Ranked 5th or 6th.
Rohit will not open for Tests after 2172 days
Rohit Sharma last played a Test for India in 2018, when he batted in the middle order. After that, when South Africa came to tour India in 2019, Rohit Sharma started taking on the responsibility of opening the batting, and since then till now, he has only been responsible for opening the batting. That is, if converted into days, then after 2172 days, Rohit Sharma will now be batting in the middle order in Tests. This will be a pink-ball Test and the shine on the ball is expected to diminish a bit when Rohit bats.
High praise for young players
Rohit Sharma, while giving the team dates, said Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill are the new generation players. Rohit Sharma reminded that when he first came to Australia, all he thought about was how to score runs, but now new players think about winning matches. Winning is very important for new players. The next game is very important for both the Indian and Australian teams. It remains to be seen how the team and players perform.
