BGT: 'Rohit Sharma should bat at Number 6 in the second Test'

Deccan Chronicle  

Indian batsmen rose up to Aussie challenge in the opening match of the Border Gavaskar Trophy helping the side secure a 295-run victory. However, the skillfully crafted partnership is now causing a discussion in the dressing room over the batting line-up as Rohit Sharma, who missed the first test due to personal reasons, is back for the Adelaide day-night game. In the two day practice match against PM's XI, Gill made his case for comeback with a masterful half century, while Rohit, who came to bat at number four continued his bad run in the red ball format after he departed for four runs. Rohit should stick to the same batting position or play at number 6 in the second game, allowing Jaiswal and Rahul to open, opined Former national selector Devang Gandhi. Interestingly, the Indian captain last came out to bat at Number 6 in the 2018/19 tour of Australia, where he scored a half century.
