BGT 2024-25: Rohit Confirms Batting In Middle Order, Rahul To Open In Adelaide Test (Lead)
Adelaide Oval: Ahead of the day-night second Test against Australia at the Adelaide Oval, skipper Rohit Sharma confirmed he will bat in the middle order, with the team stick to its opening combination of KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal.
In the absence of Rohit due to him being on paternity leave for the birth of his second child in Mumbai, Rahul (77) joined forces with Jaiswal (161) to put up a stand of 201 runs in the second innings, which helped India set the base for a mammoth 295-run win in Perth. "KL will open (in Adelaide). The way he batted and his partnership with Jaiswal was instrumental in that first test win.
"The way he has batted outside India, he deserves it. I will bat somewhere in the middle. It was a fairly simple decision. Personally, it wasn’t easy but for the team, it was an easy decision to make," said Rohit in the pre-match press conference.
