Rahul Dravid 'nightmares' continue to haunt Matthew Hayden as Sunil Gavaskar taunts major fumble on live TV

The fascinating subplots over Rohit Sharma's batting position will remain in the build-up to the third Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series after a double failure in Adelaide. Cricket greats Sunil Gavaskar and Matthew Hayden were at loggerheads over whether the India captain should return as opener in the third Test match in Brisbane, slated to begin on Saturday, but the Aussie suffered a major fumble on live TV, leaving the Indian in splits. Speaking to Star Sports after the second Test, Gavaskar said that he wanted Rohit to open in the Gabba Test, hoping that it could give India a promising start, while Rahul could bat at No. He just needs to do it for a longer.” Gavaskar waited for Hayden to complete his statement and then taunted the Aussie saying, “I would love it if it was Rahul Dravid, as you said, but it is KL Rahul.” The former Australia batter could not stop laughing as he apologised, before admitting that Dravid's double century at the Adelaide Oval still haunts him. Dravid's 12-and-a-half-hour epic came almost two decades back, during India's 2003/04 tour of Australia, in response to a mighty first-innings total of 556 from Australia, where Ricky Ponting scored 242 off 353.
