By Saurabh Sharma October 01, 2019 • 19:04 PM View: 1179

New Delhi, Oct 1: Former India cricketer Gautam Gambhir has backed Rohit Sharma as the Indian opener and felt he can make a mark in the upcoming Test series against South Africa, starting on Wednesday in Visakhapatnam.

Rohit was inducted in the Indian Test team as KL Rahul was ruled out from the three-match rubber due to poor form. However, several questions were raised about Rohit's abilities in the longest format of the game after he was dismissed for a duck in the practice game against the Proteas.
