Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, Cheteshwar Pujara has opened up on the peculiar challenges of a pink-ball Test. The second Test, scheduled to be held in Adelaide, will be played under lights. Speaking to Star Sports,

Rohit Sharma missed the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Perth due to the birth of his second child. In his absence, Jasprit Bumrah led India to a convincing 295-run win at the Optus Stadium.

The Indian team got off to a stellar start in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. Taking on Australia in the first Test of the series in Perth, India managed to dominate the hosts and registered a 295-run victory against the side.

KL Rahul opened the innings for India alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal in the first Test as captain Rohit Sharma was unavailable. With Rohit re-joining the Indian squad, there is uncertainty over where Rahul will bat in the next match.

Cheteshwar Pujara has suggested a batting change for the Indian Team. He wants Rohit Sharma to bat at Number 3 while KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal should open.

Rohit's absence in the series opener in Perth allowed India to move Rahul to the top of the order from the middle order

Cheteshwar Pujara, who was an integral member of the India’s last two series win in Australia has suggested that India should keep KL Rahul in the top three.

JKL Rahul opened the India innings with Yashasvi Jaiswal in the Perth Test in absence of Rohit Sharma. With Rohit back from his paternity break, it will be now  interesting to see where Rahul bats in the Adelaide Test.

Veteran batter Cheteshwar Pujara reckons in-form KL Rahul should bat at No.3 if captain Rohit Sharma wants to open in the second Test against Australia. Rahul was impressive in India's 295-run win over Australia at Perth.

After conquering Perth in the series opener with a record-changing 295-run victory, India will face Australia in Adelaide in a pink-ball affair next week.
