Indian captain Rohit Sharma has given an update on his fitness ahead of the Melbourne Test against Australia. He said on Tuesday that his knee is fine. However, the Indian captain remained in doubt over his position in the batting order.
37 year old Rohit Sharma said- 'Don't worry about who will bat where. We need to think about this and it is not something I discuss here. We will do what is best for the team. Rohit was injured during practice at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday. His left knee was injured. There were many concerns about his injury. Here Team India will play the fourth match of Border-Gavaskar Trophy from 26th December.
On Sunday 22nd December, Rohit suffered an injury on his knee. He was seen irrigating with snow.
Rohit has been at number six, could score only 19 runs. Rohit could not play in the first Test match due to the birth of his second child. He was supposed to return as an opener in the second Test, but KL Rahul played a key role in India's victory by playing an impressive inning of 77 runs in Perth. After this the Indian captain had to come down to bat at number six.
However, this change was not good for Rohit. So far he has been able to score only 19 runs in three innings. On the other hand, Rahul strengthened his claim at the top order by scoring 84 runs in the first innings of the third Test match.
Rohit said- Kohli will find a way to score runs On Virat Kohli's poor form and difficulty in playing balls going outside the off-stump, Rohit said that Kohli will find a way to overcome this.
Rohit said- 'You are talking about Kohli's off stump. You are talking about the legendary batsman of the present time. The great batsmen of the modern era carve their own path.
Kohli had scored a century in the second innings of the first Test match, but in the second Test he could score only seven and 11 runs, while in the only innings of the third Test match he was out after scoring three runs.
We will allow Jaiswal to play freely – Rohit On the batting of young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit said that he will be encouraged to play his natural game. Rohit said- 'We do not want to change Jaiswal's mentality. He understands his batting better than anyone else. We will encourage him to play openly.
