Rohit to bat at No. 5 in 2nd Australia Test?
The 37-year-old joined the Indian camp about a week back, during the first Test in Perth, where the visitors won by a record margin of 295 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.
Rohit was expected to assume his original role in the second Test in Adelaide, which will be a Pink Ball game, but with KL Rahul, his replacement in Perth, having carved out a valiant knock off 77 in the second innings, which stitching a record 201-run opening stand with Yashasvi Jaiswal, the India captain hinted that he might bat at No. 5 against Australia.
Rohit dropped the major hint on Sunday after India announced the team list for the warm-up game against Prime Minister’s XI at the Manuka Oval in Canberra, which showed his name at No. 5. Later, Rahul was sent to open alongside Jaiswal in the practice game.
The last time Rohit batted at No. 5 was back in 2018. Overall, he played 16 innings at the position, scoring 437 runs in nine matches at 29.13, with three fifties. However, all of those knocks came outside India.
