Living up to his `selfless` tag, India skipper Rohit Sharma will be marking a return to middle-order as India takes on Australia in the pink-ball, day-night second Test at Adelaide Oval on Friday with the pair of KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal continuing their run as the opening pair following a historic double ton partnership at Perth, which displayed the art of handling the new ball and Test match batsmanship at its very best.
Both sides have their demons to overcome as they head into the match. While the 295-run loss at Perth will haunt the Aussies and fire them up to turn the tables in their favour, India, boosted by the `Hitman` return, would be aiming to put the 36-all out scorecard during 2020 pink-ball Adelaide Test in the past.
