#3 Ability to play with the Tail
Rohit Sharma has played a lot of First-class cricket where he has scored a triple hundred and averages more than 55. He has the experience and maturity to bat in different situations. Since Rohit will play in the middle order, he will have to bat with the lower middle order and the tail. Rohit, as well all know can be devastating against the quickies and spinners.
Rohit has a good record of batting with the tail as he did in his first couple of Test matches with India. He has this unique ability to hit some towering sixes and even though Australian grounds are big, it isn't big enough to stop a Rohit Sharma six sailing into the stands.
Nowadays Test matches are decided by vital lower order runs. Sam Curran demonstrated this against India when he made some useful contributions down the order.
Rohit should be allowed to play his natural game against the Australian bowlers. If the situation demands, where he may have to go after the bowling, he'll surely do that considering his experience in the limited overs formats.
