3 Players who could open for India in the Boxing Day Test against Australia

#3 Rohit Sharma

Rohit can change gears at any moment in Test cricket

India's limited overs specialist opener Rohit Sharma could be an enticing option for India to open in the Boxing Day Test against Australia. However, there are still concerns over his lower back injury sustained in the first Test at Adelaide. If Rohit is fit and raring to go, it will be the last roll of dice to save his gloomy Test career.

He looked comfortable against the semi-old ball in Adelaide before a brain-fade forced him to throw away his wicket to Nathan Lyon. He made a decent 37 to stitch a crucial partnership alongside Cheteshwar Pujara and played the aggressor's role in his stay at the crease.

He is an attacking player and his game is a perfect match for the Australian conditions. Once set, Rohit has the innate ability to score runs at a brisk pace. He can torment the bowlers for quick runs with the proficiency of turning the game in one single session.
