IND vs AUS, 3rd Test Day 1 Live Score and Reactions: India eye redemption at Gabba
Rohit Sharma did not look at home in the Adelaide Test by any stretch of the imagination. For the entirity of the match, he seemed vulnerable with the bat and fell short of ideas while facing the pink ball. At no stage of his knock did he seem to have got the better of the Australian attack.
After the 10-wicket hammering in Adelaide, the question is should Rohit return to opening the batting in the third Test at the Gabba in Brisbane?
Ravi Shastri, who has worked with Rohit during his heydays, was clear cut in saying that Rohit should open the batting.
“That’s where he’s been at his best over the last eight or nine years. It’s not that he’s going to set the world on fire – he could – but that’s the place that’s best for him…If he has to do damage, if he has to throw the first punch, that’s the best place from where he can do it,” Shastri was quoted as saying by The Age.
