Boxing Day Test, Rohit Sharma: The fourth Test is being played between India and Australia in Melbourne. By the end of the first day’s play, Australia’s score is 311 runs for 6 wickets. Earlier, Australian captain Pat Cummins won the toss and decided to bat. At the same time, the performance of the Indian opener in this series has been disappointing. Till now, in the first 3 test matches, KL Rahul played the role of opener along with Yashasvi Jaiswal, but both the players failed to give a good start to the Indian team as openers.
Will Rohit Sharma open with Yashasvi Jaiswal?
Now the question is whether the opening pair of the Indian team will change in the Boxing Day Test? Will KL Rahul open with Yashasvi Jaiswal? If media reports are to be believed, captain Rohit Sharma can be seen as an opener along with Yashasvi Jaiswal in the Melbourne Test. If Rohit Sharma opens, then KL Rahul will have to bat in the middle order. Actually, statistics show that Indian captain Rohit Sharma has flopped badly in this series. Although KL Rahul’s performance has been mixed, will changing the batting number change Rohit Sharma’s performance?
KL Rahul has scored the most runs for India
