Former selector raised questions on Rohit Sharma's decision, gave this special advice

IND vs AUS: The Indian cricket team is currently on a tour of Australia, where it is playing a five-match Test series. Three matches of this series have been played and both teams are tied 1-1. The Indian team won the first match, in which Rohit Sharma was not possible to play. In his absence, Jasprit Bumrah captained the team, while KL Rahul took over the responsibility of opening. But when Rohit Sharma returned in the second match, he took an unexpected decision and retained KL Rahul as an opener, while he himself was seen batting at number 6.

This decision of Rohit Sharma has proved beneficial for KL Rahul, but as a captain, Rohit Sharma has not been able to perform as expected in this series so far. Meanwhile, former India selector Chetan Sharma has given his opinion on this decision of Rohit and has given him some important advice. Let us know what Chetan Sharma has said.

Chetan Sharma's advice

Chetan Sharma expressed concern about the batting of the Indian team and said that the batting needs to be improved. However, he praised the performance of the bowlers, especially Jasprit Bumrah's brilliant game. Chetan Sharma said that some changes should be made in the batting order. He believes that Rohit Sharma should open, as he is capable of putting pressure on the bowlers and his aggressive batting causes trouble to the opposition team.

Chetan Sharma further said, "You can send KL Rahul to any number, he can score runs at every number, but Rohit Sharma should be allowed to open. He puts pressure on the bowlers and India will benefit from his game." He believes that Rohit Sharma is a player who has the ability to disappoint the bowlers and his coming to open can be very important for the series.

Advice for bowlers too

Chetan Sharma also gave some important suggestions to the bowlers. He said that along with Jasprit Bumrah maintaining his excellent form, the rest of the bowlers will also have to contribute. Bumrah has performed tremendously in this series and he has been the highest wicket-taker. But other bowlers will also have to fulfill their responsibility, so that there is no pressure on Bumrah and the Indian team has a completely balanced bowling attack.

Conclusion

This Test series between India and Australia is at an exciting juncture and Team India now needs to improve both its batting and bowling areas. Chetan Sharma's advice, especially the suggestion of opening Rohit Sharma, can prove to be important for the Indian team. At the same time, the bowlers will also have to play their role so that along with Bumrah's brilliant performance, other bowlers can also increase their number of wickets. All these changes can be beneficial for Team India, especially in the fourth match, where a strong performance will be required.
