IND vs AUS / Rohit's big announcement before the match, will the pair of Jaiswal and Rahul break?

IND vs AUS: The second match of the five-Test series between India and Australia is now very close. The Indian team's preparations for this day-night pink ball test to be played on the historic Adelaide ground on December 6 are complete. However, the biggest question before the match was who would open for Team India. Captain Rohit Sharma has cleared the situation by giving a big statement on this.

Trust in the pair of KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal

In the absence of captain Rohit Sharma in the first Test, Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul opened for the Indian team. Although they could not score many runs in the first innings, but in the second innings, both of them put India in a strong position by sharing more than 200 runs. This performance not only led the team to victory but also boosted the confidence of both the players.

Captain Rohit Sharma made it clear in a conversation with the media on Thursday that Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul will open the innings in the second Test as well. He said, "Both of them have made a match-winning partnership for us. It is not necessary to change it in the interest of the team."

Rohit Sharma will bat in the middle order

Under this decision, Rohit Sharma will be seen batting in the middle order in Test cricket after 2172 days. He last batted in the middle order in a Test match in 2018. After this, after opening against South Africa in 2019, he remained in this role continuously. Now under this change, he can bat at number 5 or 6, which can be beneficial for his experience.

Praise for young players

Rohit Sharma praised the young players of the team. He said that new generation players like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant, and Shubman Gill are proving to be a big achievement for the team. He said, "New players now think not only of scoring runs but also of winning the match. This is a great mindset for the team."

The challenge of Pink Ball Test

Pink Ball Tests have always been exciting. The Adelaide pitch and the possibility of the pink ball swinging at night will prove to be challenging for the batsmen and bowlers of both the teams. In such a situation, Rohit Sharma playing in the middle order is being considered a strategic move.

Important match for India

The second Test is not only an opportunity to maintain the lead in the series, but also to prove themselves in Australia's home conditions. The performance of the Indian team in this match will decide to what extent they can maintain control over the series.
