The playing eleven of the Australian team has also been announced for this match. In which two major changes have been seen. Now the eyes of the fans are fixed on the playing eleven of Team India. Before that, news is coming that the batting order of the Indian team for the Melbourne Test may change once again.
Rohit Sharma can open
Rohit Sharma has played only two matches in this series so far. Before the Border Gavaskar Trophy, Rohit became a father for the second time, due to which he had to sit out of the Perth Test. In the absence of Rohit, Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul were seen opening the innings for Team India. After this, when Rohit returned for the second match, the biggest question was that at which number Rohit would bat next, because Rahul had given a brilliant opening performance in the first Test.
Rohit again gave KL Rahul a chance to bat in the opening and in the last two matches, Rohit was seen batting at number-6. Now there are reports that Rohit can once again be seen opening in the Melbourne Test.
Rohit answered this in the press conference
Regarding this, Rohit said in his press conference, “We should not worry about who will bat where. This is something we need to understand and I will not discuss it here. We will do what is right for the team. When I was at home and watching how KL was batting. To be honest, it felt great to see this and I felt there was no need to change it now. “Maybe things will be different in the future, I don’t know.”
Rohit’s poor performance
Rohit Sharma’s performance in Test cricket has not been anything special in recent times. Rohit has also proved to be a flop in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. In the last 13 innings, Rohit has scored only 152 runs at an average of less than 12. Team India’s tension has also increased due to Rohit’s poor form.
