What will be KL Rahul's position on Rohit Sharma's return? The legendary batsman who troubled Australia gave his opinion

KL Rahul should bat in top order says Cheteshwar Pujara: The Indian cricket team is full of confidence after defeating Australia in Perth. Now they face the challenge of day-night test in Adelaide for which captain Rohit Sharma has also returned. There is sure to be a change in the batting order of KL Rahul, who scored a half-century in the second innings in the last match. It is also certain that Rohit will start the innings and Rahul will be sent down. However, veteran Indian batsman Cheteshwar Pujara believes that Rahul should not be sent lower than number three.

KL Rahul should not be sent lower than number three – Cheteshwar Pujara

If Rohit starts the innings in Test, it is difficult for him to change his position. Shubman Gill is also going to return to the playing eleven and he also bats in the top order. However, Rahul is such a batsman who can adapt himself to any position. Pujara has said that Rahul should not be sent lower than number three.

They ESPNcricinfo Said, “I think that somehow we should keep the batting order the same in which only KL and Yashasvi should open the innings. Rohit should bat at number three and Shubman at number five. If Rohit wants to open, then KL should be played at number three.” Not later than this, he should bat in the top order because it suits his game. I am hoping that his batting order should not be tampered with.

KL Rahul has been most successful in opening.

Rahul has played maximum 77 innings as an opener in his Test career. In this, he has scored 3654 runs with an average of 35.39 which includes seven centuries and 13 half-centuries. Rahul has also played his career's highest innings of 199 runs while opening.

Rahul has also batted at number three, four and six in Tests, but neither has he played many innings nor achieved success. At number three, he has scored 88 runs in five innings and at number four, he has scored 108 runs in two innings. He scored 234 runs in nine innings played at number six.
