This happy news not only marks a personal milestone for Rohit, but it also increases the likelihood of him being available for the first Test in Perth on November 22. His presence in the opening match would provide much-needed stability to India’s batting lineup and ensure leadership continuity throughout the series.
About The Match
With India still looking for the right opening partner for Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit’s availability would ease the team’s concerns, especially as the contenders have struggled in recent practice matches, including a lackluster showing on the first day of the three-day match simulation at the WACA ground. On Friday, all eyes were on KL Rahul, who was opening with Jaiswal, but his session was cut short after being struck on the right elbow by a rising delivery from pacer Prasidh Krishna. Rahul received treatment but did not return to the field, though the injury is not considered serious.
In case Rohit is unavailable, India has backup options. Specialist opener Abhimanyu Easwaran is part of the squad, and No. 3 batter Shubman Gill has experience opening, having impressed during his debut series in 2020-21 with a series-high 259 runs, including a crucial 91 in the Brisbane Test. Either way, the Indian team is well-prepared for the challenge ahead.
