The second match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia is to be played in Adelaide. This match will be a day-night test, for which Team India is fully prepared. The good thing for India is that regular captain Rohit Sharma will also be seen playing in this match, who could not play the first match of the series due to personal reasons. With the presence of Rohit, the team looks very balanced and strong. This will be the first time that Rohit will play a pink ball test outside India.
Rohit’s figures are scary
The three pink ball test matches that Rohit has played so far have been played in India only. Rohit has scored only one half-century so far in the Pink Ball Test and has 173 runs to his name at an average of 39. India has to play the next match in Adelaide and Rohit does not have much experience of playing here. He has played two matches here, in which he has scored only 87 runs at an average of 21.75. In such a situation, this time he has a chance to improve his record.
Rohit would like to strengthen the team’s batting
Rohit would not only want to strengthen the team’s batting in Adelaide, but would also like to prove his usefulness as a captain. In his place, fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah took over the captaincy in Perth and led his team to a historic victory at the Optus Stadium in Perth. Rohit’s return to the playing eleven means that the team will have to make changes to the opening pair of Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul, who played a key role in Perth’s victory.
Rohit-Yashasvi will start the innings in Adelaide
The pair did not give any chance to Australia’s fast bowling trio of Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood in Perth and added 201 runs in the second innings. The Kangaroo team looked tired and helpless in front of these two batsmen. In this match, the partnership of Yashasvi-Rahul challenged an experienced bowling line-up like Australia. It is expected that Rohit and Yashasvi will open the innings in Adelaide, while Rahul will play at number three.
