'Selfless' Rohit Sharma Drops Big Hint For 3rd Test Role, Virat Kohli Looking To...

Calls for Rohit Sharma to opening alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal have intensified after India's defeat in the pink-ball Test against Australia.

The pink-ball Test between India and Australia could be over but the players are still toiling hard in the nets at Adelaide. After the day-night Test ended in just 2 days and one session, the likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, etc. decided to put the hard yards in the nets at Adelaide, before they fly to Brisbane for the third Test of the series. Ahead of the Gabba clash, Rohit Sharma's batting position has been one of the biggest talking points among experts. However, it doesn't look like the India captain is willing to change anything.

Rohit batted at the No. 6 spot in the pink-ball Test, allowing KL Rahul to continue opening alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal. Both Rahul and Rohit failed to put in the runs, prompting discussions that the Hitman should reclaim his opening spot. But, Rohit seems to be keen on playing in the middle order for at least one more game.

From India's net sessions in Adelaide on Tuesday, the broadcaster reported that there was no change in Team India's batting order from the pink-ball Test.

In the nets, Virat Kohli worked on his backfoot as well as the issue of pressing the ball on his front foot, subsequently getting caught in the slips. Rohit, meanwhile, continued to occupy a spot in the middle-order.
