BGT 2024-25: If Rohit Sharma Wants To Open, KL Rahul Should Bat At Three, Says Pujara
"I think, for some reason, if we can carry on with the same batting order like KL and Yashasvi to open, Rohit could come in at three, and Shubman could come in at five. If Rohit wants to open, KL should bat at No. 3. Nothing later than that. I think he has to bat top of the order because it suits his game really well. I hope we don't tinker around with that," Pujara told ESPNCricinfo on Thursday.
He also feels if Shubman Gill is fit and available for the second Test at Adelaide, starting on December 6, then he should bat at five. Pujara thinks having Gill at five can help India use his skills of facing the new ball when 80 overs are done. "Ideally No. 5. Because it allows him to come in at a time, even if we lose two wickets early, he is someone who can negotiate the new ball. But if he walks in after, say, 25 or 30 overs, he can play his shots. He can play his natural game.”
