1st Sunfoil Test: South Africa v India, Day Four
Rohit has an average of 58 at the number 6 position

Rohit Sharma, India's skipper for the Asia Cup, will lead the side in Virat Kohli's absence. With an impressive captaincy record, the interim skipper will look to replicate his success in the Asia Cup. Rohit is a permanent member of India's limited overs set-up. In 2013, he was transformed into an opener and his success story in limited-overs cricket is no less than a Bollywood script.

Three double-hundreds in ODIs but no double-hundred in Tests? Rohit scored heavily in his debut series against the Windies. His highest test score of 177 also came in this series. He was preferred over Ajinkya Rahane in the series against South Africa in January-February but to everyone's surprise, the Mumbaikar was dropped from India's Test squad for the 5 tests in England.

Now, Rohit has a chance to make a Test come back in October. His style of playing could further be beneficial in Australian conditions.
