4 Indians who can fulfill opening duties in the upcoming Test series against Australia

#4 Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma's inclusion in this list would certainly raise some eyebrows. But, to be fair, it is worth a gamble to play. Well, the road untraveled is the road worth traveling. Unquestionably, Rohit has struggled against swing and lateral movement. But, the conditions in Australia could prove to be merry for him where the ball nicely comes onto the bat.

Rohit has been a consistent stroke-maker who is capable of thumping the ball with his aggressive brand of cricket. Therefore, making him play in the opening slot could help India start the innings with some momentum on their side, which would certainly instill a sense of confidence in the rest of the batting unit.
