2nd Test: Will Rohit Sharma Agree To Bat In Middle-Order And Let KL Rahul Open?

Returning skipper Rohit Sharma will walk into the Indian playing XI for the second Test in Adelaide in place of young Devdutt Padikkal but in-form KL Rahul's batting slot in the pink ball warm-up game in Canberra will certainly keep everyone interested.
