Rohit Sharma set to return as opener in Brisbane; KL Rahul likely to find place in middle-order in IND vs AUS 3rd Test

Live Mint  

India captain Rohit Sharma is set to return as an opener in the third Test against Australia, which starts in Brisbane on December 14. Instead, he kept faith in the successful pair of Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul, who ruled the roost in India's 295-run victory in the first Test. With the series locked at 1-1 and the World Test Championship final spot at stake, Rohit Sharma was spotted facing the new ball at the nets, indicating the right-hander will come back at the top along with Jaiswal. Based on several media reports, the out-of-form Rohit faced the new ball against the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj, clearly indicating that he is going to come up the order.
