"Find A Slot Somewhere...": Ex-Australia Captain On Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul's Batting Role

Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting believes India skipper Rohit Sharma must return to his usual opening position for the third Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test against Australia, starting in Brisbane on December 14. For the second Test at the Adelaide Oval, Rohit chose to bat at number six in order to not disturb the Yashasvi Jaiswal-KL Rahul pairing, who shared a 201-run opening stand paving the way for India's 295-run win in Perth. But Rohit could only make nine runs in two innings as a number six batter in India's ten-wicket defeat to Australia at the Adelaide Oval, as the Pat Cummins-led side squared the five-match series and make the scoreline 1-1.

Amid criticism of both his form and captaincy, India captain Rohit Sharma has received support from an Indian World Cup-winner. 1983 World Cup-winner Kirti Azad has defended Rohit Sharma, despite India's big defeat in the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia at Adelaide. Azad sharply stated that people watching on television in the comfort of their homes should not be the judges of whether a senior player should be dropped.

Former Australia opener Matthew Hayden has advised India to bat first in the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against Australia, starting on December 14, even if the conditions on offer at the Gabba in Brisbane are challenging. The current five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy series is locked 1-1 after Australia beat India by 10 wickets at Adelaide Oval.

There has been a lot of conversation surrounding Rohit Sharma's batting position in the ongoing Test series against Australia. He missed the first Test match as he stayed back with family following the birth of his second child and in the second Test, he batted at No. 6 with KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal playing as openers. The move did not work out as both Rohit and Rahul struggled to score runs in the pink-ball Test in Adelaide. However, India are likely to stick with the same batting order in the third Test match as well with the practice session on Thursday dropping major hints about the decision.
