ADELAIDE: India skipper Rohit Sharma said he will bat “somewhere in the middle-order” in the day/night Test against Australia starting here on Friday, allowing K L Rahul to continue in the opening slot.
Rahul looked solid with scores of 26 and 77 as he and centurion Yashasvi Jaiswal combined for a 201-run opening stand during the second innings of the first Test in Perth, which India won by 295 runs.
“He (Rahul) will open the innings. I will play somewhere in the middle,” Rohit told reporters on the eve of the second Test.
