Rohit Sharma's Selfless Gesture In Pink-Ball Match Settles Adelaide Test Debate

India captain Rohit Sharma is likely to bat down the order in the upcoming second Test against Australia in Adelaide. Rohit, who missed the first Test due to the birth of his son, listed himself at no. 5 in the team sheet for two-day pink-ball practice against the Prime Minister's XI. There is a huge possibility that Rohit might take up a similar role in the Day-Night Test at the Adelaide Oval, especially after KL Rahul gave a good account for himself in the series opener, batting at the top alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal.

India vs Prime Minister XI: 1st Day's Play Abandoned Due To Rain; Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill Miss Pink Ball Game Time

Unrelenting rain forced the abandonment of the first-day's play of the two-day practice match between India and Prime Minister's XI on Saturday, robbing Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill of some much-needed Pink ball game time ahead of the day-night second Test against Australia at Adelaide. The teams have agreed to play a 50-over-a-side match on Sunday at the Manuka Oval, weather permitting. However, the day might have come as a dampener for captain Rohit, who had skipped the first Test at Perth to welcome a baby boy into his family, ahead of the Pink Ball Test, starting from December 6.

Cheteshwar Pujara Backs KL Rahul To Open In 2nd Test: 'Rohit Sharma To Come At 3, Shubman Gill At...'

Cheteshwar Pujara wants K L Rahul to open the batting alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal in the second Test against Australia despite the arrival of skipper Rohit Sharma. Rohit's absence in the series opener in Perth allowed India to move Rahul to the top of the order from the middle order. Pujara, the rock of Indian batting on the previous two tours of Australia, feels the opening combination should not be tinkered with after a 295-run win in the series opener. Jaiswal scored a memorable hundred while Rahul too was impressive, collecting 26 and 77 in the two innings in Perth.

Prime Ministers XI vs India LIVE Updates, Warm-up Match: India's preparation for the pink-ball second Test in Adelaide is off to a worrying start, with rain potentially cancelling out the opening part of the match. To make it worse, a lot more rain is reportedly expected to hit Canberra, which could dent India's warm-up plans.

The last time India faced Australia in a pink-ball Test, it suffered an embarrassing 36 all out in their second innings. The side will aim to get good practice ahead of the crucial encounter.
