4. Lack of bowling options
For the number 6 spot, India is primarily looking for a batsman who can bowl. The selection of Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja or Hanuma Vihari proves that. It is for this reason that even triple centurion Karun Nair has been omitted from the Indian Test team. Since the top 5 batsmen of India's team do not bowl, it is extremely important to have a backup bowler playing at number 6 just in case one of the other bowlers is having an off-day.
The fact that Rohit does not bowl further reduces his chances of getting selected in the team.
