The first test match between India and Australia will be played in Perth. Team India’s batting order will be worth watching in the Test match starting from 22nd November. According to media reports, in the absence of Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul can open with Yashasvi Jaiswal. However, Cheteshwar Pujara does not agree with this strategy of Team India. While talking to the media, Cheteshwar Pujara said that he will never make KL Rahul open and he also gave the reason for this.
Pujara advised Rahul not to open
Cheteshwar Pujara said, ‘I don’t know the batting order but I will make KL Rahul bat at number 3. KL Rahul has the experience of bearing pressure. I heard that Padikkal can bat at number 3 as he is a left-handed batsman. Team India wants a combination of right hand and left hand. But I think it will be easier for KL Rahul to bat in the first order.
Rahul failed in unofficial test
Even in the match against Australia A, KL Rahul did not look ready to open. This player failed in both the innings against Australia A. Rahul could score only 4 runs in the first innings and 10 runs in the second innings. It is definitely believed that Rahul will open in Perth. It is also a matter of concern for Rahul that his form is not going well. Apart from this, questions have also been raised regarding his place in the Test team. Now even if Rahul does not go on Australia tour, he can be dropped from the Test team.
