‘Like A Lamb To The Slaughter’: Dodda Ganesh Warns Against Rohit Opening At Gabba
Dodda Ganesh: Former pacer Dodda Ganesh has strongly cautioned the Indian team management against the idea of captain Rohit Sharma opening the batting in the crucial third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series at the Gabba, labelling it a risky proposition given Rohit's current form and the challenging conditions in Brisbane.
Ganesh's warning comes amid growing debate over India's batting order following their struggles in the first two Tests of the series. India were bowled out for 150 in their first innings of the opening Test at Perth and then for 180 in Adelaide. Though they recovered to win the Perth Test by 295 runs thanks to centuries by Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli, there were not such heroics in Adelaide and the visitors slumped to an embarrassing 10-wicket defeat within three days.
With there being some talk going about Rohit Sharma, who missed the first Test and in the middle in the second to allow K.L Rahul to open the innings with Yashasvi Jaiswal in Adelaide, returning to the opening role, Ganesh, took to social media to express his concerns.
