Rahul can open in Rohit Sharma’s absence
Team India has been announced for the Australia series. The captaincy is Rohit Sharma, but it was previously reported that Rohit Sharma may miss the first Test match. This means that when the entire Indian team travels to Australia, Rohit will not be there.

Now, an update on the matter is coming and the job can be handed to KL Rahul. This means that KL Rahul will once again feature in the opening innings.
Rahul struggling with bad form
Recently, Rahul was completely silent with the bat when India played against Bangladesh and New Zealand in Test matches. Questions have also arisen about Rahul’s availability for the Australian tour. Although he missed the remaining two games after the first Test against New Zealand, it also gave him the opportunity to travel to Australia. But he had an opportunity to play a brilliant innings against Australia A, but he missed the opportunity. The current news about Rohit Sharma is that he will not play in the first game, but there is a possibility that he will miss the second game as well. If this happens, then only Rahul will be available in both.
This is the figure of Australian Rahul
KL Rahul has played 5 Test matches against Australia on his own soil so far. He has scored 187 points. But if we talk about the average, it is only 20.77. Remember, there is one more 110-run innings, which he scored at the Sydney Cricket Ground in 2015, which came in the opening innings. That meant he couldn’t do much in the remaining innings. Many times he didn’t even manage to break double digits. Under such circumstances, if the tour to Australia is no less than a touchstone for KL Rahul. How they get through this remains to be seen.
