IND vs AUS: The five-match Test series between India and Australia is going on, the second Test of which is now to be held in Adelaide. This will be a day-night test, for which Team India is fully prepared. Before this match, the team played a practice match in the Pink Ball Test against Australian Prime Minister XI.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill, who recovered from injury, also played in this match. However, Rohit could not do anything special with the bat, while Gill played an innings of 50 runs.
After this inning, he has been declared fit for the second Test match against Australia. However, if this happens, KL Rahul, who opened in Perth, may have to play at number six because captain Rohit Sharma has also returned, and will play with Yashasvi Jaiswal in the opening.
Genuinely asking, Where should KL Rahul bat in Adelaide tests since Rohit has already joined the squad and he will open with Jaiswal ?? pic.twitter.com/ryw1GWNHEn
