Border-Gavaskar Trophy: India captain Rohit Sharma listed himself at No.5 in line-up of the pink ball warm-up game vs Prime Minister’s XI. Could that be an indication of the captain sacrificing his position in the Adelaide Test?
India’s captain, Rohit Sharma, positioned himself at No. 5 during the pink ball warm-up game against the Australian Prime Minister’s XI. Rohit, who joined the team midway through the Perth Test, got some valuable match practice on Sunday as India faced the Australian side in Canberra.
This move could signal that Rohit might shift to the middle order for the upcoming pink ball Test match in Adelaide, starting December 6. The decision may be influenced by the stellar performances of KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal in the second innings of the opening Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
In the Perth Test, the opening pair of Rahul and Jaiswal set a new record, with a 200+ run partnership—the first ever by Indian openers on Australian soil. Their remarkable performance played a crucial role in India’s 295-run victory in the series opener.
Indian Line-Up for Warm-Up Game:
- KL Rahul
- Yashasvi Jaiswal
- Shubman Gill
- Virat Kohli
- Rohit Sharma (C)
- Rishabh Pant (WK)
