Now the debate about Rohit's batting order has also gained momentum. Many former legends believe that Rohit should open, while some cricket pundits want Rohit to bat at number six but also show aggression while batting.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma injured his left knee during a training session at the MCG here on Sunday, but the severity of the injury is yet to be ascertained. The Indian team participated in the entire practice session here and Rohit suffered a knee injury at the end of his batting session on a throwdown ball from support staff Dayanand Garani. Rohit was in pain and was seen applying an ice pack on his left knee. Later, fast bowler Akash Deep said that the captain is fine.
On the other hand, discussions have started regarding Rohit Sharma's bad form. On the one hand, Rohit cannot score runs, on the other hand, the debate about his batting order has also gained momentum. In fact, instead of opening, Rohit Sharma is now coming at number 6. He could not play in the first match of the series due to personal reasons.
Should bat more aggressively at number six: Ravi Shastri Former Indian coach Ravi Shastri believes that Rohit Sharma should come in to bat at number 6, but he needs to play more aggressively at this number. According to Shastri, this stylish batsman should come with a clear mindset and change his tactics and be aggressive against the bowlers. On ICC review, Shastri said, I want to see Rohit Sharma do well. His tactics should change a bit as he can still be very dangerous at number six. Let us tell you that Rohit made his Test debut at number six in 2013 and also scored a century.
Pujara asked Rohit to bat in the middle order On the other hand, Pujara believes that making Rohit bat in the middle order instead of opening could affect the player's momentum. Pujara said, Rohit was an opener earlier, now he is batting at number six. Doing this does you no good in batting, it also gives you no rhythm.
Herschel Gibbs advocated for the opening Former South African cricketer Herschel Gibbs has given his opinion on Rohit's opening in the match. Harshal Gibbs has said that Rohit is more comfortable opening, the fourth Test match is very important. Rohit should open with Jaiswal.
Rohit's form became a matter of concern Rohit's bat has been quiet for the last few months of 2024. Rohit has so far scored only 3, 6 and 10 runs in three innings in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. He has scored only 153 runs in 13 innings this year. His poor form, which started against Bangladesh and New Zealand at home, continues on the Australian pitches. Which has now raised questions on Rohit's Test career.
Which number is Rohit Sharma best at? Rohit has played 66 matches in his Test career so far and scored 4289 runs. Which includes 12 centuries and 18 half-centuries. Rohit has scored 2685 runs as an opener in Tests. In which he has scored 9 centuries. No, Rohit batted at number 3 in 5 innings and scored 107 runs. Rohit has played an innings at number four. Apart from this, Rohit batted in 16 innings at number 5 and Rohit has scored 5 half-centuries at number 5. Rohit has scored a total of 1056 runs batting at number 6 in 28 innings. At number six, Rohit has scored 3 centuries and 6 half-centuries.
Good record at opener and number 6 Rohit Sharma has a better record as an opener in Tests and at No.6. As an opener, Rohit batted in 42 innings and scored 2685 runs. As an opener, Rohit has scored 9 centuries, while at number 6, Rohit has scored 1056 runs batting in 28 innings. In which three centuries are recorded in his name.
Rohit Sharma's experience of playing with the new ball Rohit Sharma has experience playing with the new ball. Everyone knows what will happen if Rohit stays on the pitch for 10 overs in the beginning. Although Rohit is currently batting at number 6 for KL Rahul, the right batting order is definitely opening up for Rohit given his experience. Initially, Rohit manages to face the bowlers without any problem. Rohit has the most experience as an opener. His record as an opener is also good.
What do fans want? Fans are discussing Rohit Sharma's batting order on social media. Fans also want Rohit to bat fearlessly, many believe that he is a good option for Rohit as an opener, but the confusion is that KL Rahul is in great form.
In such a situation, captain Rohit does not want to take any risk with KL Rahul's batting order. In such a situation, fans believe that the hit man should only bat at number 6.
