During the press conference, Rohit acknowledged Rahul’s efforts and mentioned that the way KL Rahul bats in the away conditions in Test matches, he deserves the opening slot. During the press conference, Rohit Sharma said: "KL Rahul to open. I'll bat somewhere in the middle. I was watching KL Rahul's batting from home with my newborn in my arms. He played brilliantly so there is no need to change his position. KL deserves that spot at this point. The partnership with KL & Jaiswal probably won us the Test match - I don't see we needed to change that - it was pretty easy for me, for the team it made sense.” Watch the video of Rohit’s press conference: CAPTAIN ROHIT SHARMA WILL NOT OPEN FOR TEAM INDIA IN ADELAIDE.
