IND vs AUS: Rohit Sharma’s big announcement a day before the match, will Yashwi Jaiswal and KL Rahul pair break?

The second match of the five-Test series between India and Australia is now less than 24 hours away. The match will be played on December 6 at the historic ground in Adelaide. This will be a pink ball test and will be played day and night. Meanwhile, before the match, there was suspense as to who would open for India in this match. But captain Rohit Sharma came a day before the match and almost revealed this. He spoke highly of the pairing of KL Rahul and Yashwi Jaiswal.

Yashaswi Jaiswal and KL Rahul laid the foundation for India’s win.

Rohit Sharma was absent in the first match of the Border Gavaskar Trophy. In that match, Jasprit Bumrah took the responsibility of captaincy. KL Rahul and Yashaswi Jaiswal opened for India. The pair couldn’t do anything special in the first innings of the match, but in the second innings, both of them put on a new record of more than 200 runs together. Now Rohit Sharma has returned as captain in the second match. In such a situation, for the last several days, there was only one question in everyone’s mind that who will do the opening now? Yashaswi Jaiswal will definitely be the opener, but who will field alongside him?

Rohit Sharma will play in the middle order, once again the same opening pair.

This was the biggest question when captain Rohit Sharma met the media on Thursday, a day before the match. To which Rohit Sharma gave a clear answer. Rohit Sharma has said that KL Rahul and Yashaswi Jaiswal have formed a match-winning partnership for us. In such a situation, it does not seem to require any change. This is in the best interest of the team and is a very simple decision. It means that in the next match as well, Yashwi Jaiswal and KL Rahul will be seen opening, Rohit Sharma will come to bat in the middle order. At number 5 or 6.

Rohit will not open in Tests after 2172 days

Rohit Sharma last played in the middle order in Tests for Team India in 2018. After this, in the year 2019, when the South African team toured India, Rohit Sharma took over the responsibility of opening from there and since then he has only been opening. That is, if it is converted into days, after 2172 days, Rohit Sharma will now be seen batting in the middle order in Tests. This will be a pink-ball test and by the time Rohit comes to bat, it is expected that the luster of the ball will have faded a bit.

Much praise for the young players

Giving the team date, Rohit Sharma said that Yashshwi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill are new generation players. Rohit Sharma recalled that when he himself first came to Australia, his only thought was how to score, but now the new players are thinking about winning matches. Winning is very important for new players. The next match is going to be very important for both the India and Australia teams. How teams and players perform remains to be seen.
