Still, the visitors going forward in the Test series will look to improve on their opening partnership. Mayank Agarwal failed to impress with the bat in the second Test and rumours suggests that Rohit might replace him in the second Test.

“Rohit joins the team tomorrow. We will have a chat with him to see where he is placed physically because he has been quarantined for a couple of weeks. We will have to see now how he feels before we take the call”, said Ravi Shastri.
Meanwhile, Rohit in the last few years has immensely improved as a Test batsman. He averages 92 with the bat in the world Test championship which is highest by any Indian batsman. Rohit made all those runs opening the batting and it is confirmed that if he plays the next Test he will again bat in the top order.
The good thing is that Team India has a lot of time before they take the final call on Rohit’s place in the playing XI. The third Test match between Australia and India will begin from January 7 at Sydney.
