Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting believes India skipper Rohit Sharma must return to his usual opening position for the third Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test against Australia, starting in Brisbane on December 14.
 
For the second Test at the Adelaide Oval, Rohit chose to bat at number six in order to not disturb the Yashasvi Jaiswal-KL Rahul pairing, who shared a 201-run opening stand paving the way for India’s 295-run win in Perth.

But Rohit could only make nine runs in two innings as a number six batter in India’s ten-wicket defeat to Australia at the Adelaide Oval, as the Pat Cummins-led side squared the five-match series and make the scoreline 1-1.
