Rohit Sharma Batting Order: The mystery of Rohit Sharma's batting order is solved, the coach said that he will bat at this number

As soon as the toss of the Melbourne Test took place when the news came that Shubman Gill is not in the playing eleven, the biggest question that arose was who will bat at number 3? Apart from this, a question also arose about Rohit that where will the captain bat? Now the answer to both these questions has been found. As soon as the first day of the Melbourne Test ended, the assistant coach answered on Rohit's batting order. Abhishek Nair told in the press conference that captain Rohit Sharma is going to open in Melbourne.

Rohit will return to opening

Abhishek Nair told in the press conference that Rohit Sharma is going to open. This decision was taken before the Melbourne Test. Rohit opening means that KL Rahul is going to bat at number 3. Yashasvi and Rohit will open the innings. By the way, the Melbourne pitch is also the best for Rohit Sharma to open. The ball is not moving much here. On the first day, Australian openers Constas and Usman Khawaja scored comfortably in the first session. A bowler like Bumrah also proved to be quite expensive. Constas played many shots which are played in T20.

Rohit is in bad form

Rohit Sharma is in very bad form. The year 2024 has been very disappointing for Rohit Sharma. In the Test format, this player has scored 607 runs in 14 matches at an average of just 26.39. Rohit's footwork is looking quite poor on this tour as well. He did not play the first Test. But in the next three innings, this player has been able to score only 19 runs. Now it remains to be seen what kind of approach Rohit adopts in opening in Melbourne.

On the first day of the Melbourne Test, Australia scored 311 runs for 6 wickets. 4 batsmen from Australia scored half-centuries. Sam Constus scored 60 runs. Usman Khawaja scored 57 runs. Marnus Labuschagne played an innings of 72 runs. Steve Smith is unbeaten on 68 runs. As always, the most successful bowler for Team India was Jaspreet Bumrah, who took a total of 3 wickets. Akashdeep, Jadeja and Sundar got 1 wicket each.
