New Delhi, December 05, 2024.
KL Rahul’s composure and brilliant technique while opening the innings in Perth convinced skipper Rohit Sharma to move himself down the order and “bat somewhere in the middle” in the day/night Test against Australia starting here on Friday.
The Indian captain said on Thursday he didn’t wish to tinker with a combination that brought the team success in the series opener of the five-match rubber which the visitors lead 1-0 following their 295-run win at Optus Oval.
Rahul looked solid with scores of 26 and 77 and added 201 runs with fellow opener and centurion Yashasvi Jaiswal in the second innings of the first Test
