Rohit Sharma hasn’t been doing well in Test cricket lately, especially after a disappointing match in Adelaide. Cricket legends Ravi Shastri and Sunil Gavaskar suggested he should move back to opening the batting for the third Test against Australia. However, former cricketer Dodda Ganesh disagreed, saying it would be a big mistake since Rohit is already low on confidence.

In the past match, Rohit scored just 3 and 6 runs, while KL Rahul did great as an opener. With Rohit struggling to score runs—he has only made 142 runs in 12 innings with just one half-century this year—there are doubts about his performance. Some believe it might be time to think about replacing him in the team. Former Australian player Kerry O’Keeffe said that while Rohit will likely stay in the lineup as the captain, they should consider having a backup plan.
