Opening Conundrum Remains For India As Hanuma Vihari Cements No. 6

With Cheteshwar Pujara (No.3), captain Virat Kohli (No. 4) and Ajinkya Rahane (No. 5) being automatic choices, India's batting line-up had two big questions ahead of the first Test against Australia at the Adelaide Oval - who will face the new ball with Mayank Agarwal, and who will man the No. 6 slots.

The latter of those two questions have been answered with Hanuma Vihari making himself almost a certainty for the slot with a century in the day-night warm-up tie against Australia A. In the process, he also ended speculation that India could play two wicketkeepers, Rishabh Pant and Wriddhiman Saha, in the lower middle-order.
