JKL Rahul opened the India innings with Yashasvi Jaiswal in the Perth Test in absence of Rohit Sharma. With Rohit back from his paternity break, it will be now  interesting to see where Rahul bats in the Adelaide Test.

Rohit Sharma missed the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Perth due to the birth of his second child. In his absence, Jasprit Bumrah led India to a convincing 295-run win at the Optus Stadium.

Veteran batter Cheteshwar Pujara reckons in-form KL Rahul should bat at No.3 if captain Rohit Sharma wants to open in the second Test against Australia. Rahul was impressive in India's 295-run win over Australia at Perth.

In the absence of Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul has opened with Yashasvi Jaiswal, and the dup has put on a 201-run for the opening wicket in the second innings of the Perth. It was also India’s highest partnership for the first wicket in Australia.

After conquering Perth in the series opener with a record-changing 295-run victory, India will face Australia in Adelaide in a pink-ball affair next week.
