Delhi: In its first practice session at Brisbane’s Gabba ground on Thursday, India gave a clear indication that captain Rohit Sharma will bat at number 6 in the third Test. In this match, KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal will take the responsibility of opening. This third Test between India and Australia will start from December 14.

The experiment proved to be a failure in the second match.
Before the second Test in Australia, Rohit Sharma took a big decision and left the opening and batted at number 6, so that in-form KL Rahul could get a chance in the opening. However, this experiment was not successful. Rahul scored 37 runs in the first innings, but was out for just 7 runs on a bouncer from Pat Cummins in the second innings. At the same time, Rohit came to play in the middle order after six years and did not look comfortable against the pink ball. In the first innings, Scott Boland got him LBW for just 3 runs, while in the second innings he was out after scoring 6 runs.
Same batting order will be seen in the third test also
Despite this, India is likely to field with the same batting order in the third Test. Seeing the video and pictures of the practice session, it is being speculated that the same batting order can be seen in the Gabba Test also. In practice, Rahul and Jaiswal batted first. Rohit also replaced Rahul and practiced in the nets for a long time. After this Rahul practiced again.
