Australia vs India 3rd Test: 4 Best possible opening pairs for India

#3 Mayank Agarwal and Rohit Sharma

Can Rohit the opener be given a go?

This combination can work wonders for India as both of them are natural stroke-makers with the bat in hand and can take the game to the opposition. They can form a destructive opening partnership that India is lacking since the departure of the Sehwag and Gambhir duo.

We all know what Rohit Sharma is capable of in the limited overs cricket, where he is currently one of the best in the world and this could be a change that Rohit requires to excel at the Test level. He is fairly capable of decimating any bowling attack. Virat Kohli and the team management can take a risk by sending Rohit to open the batting along with Mayank Agarwal.

They both can dominate the bowling attack with their attacking instincts right from the start and help the middle order in putting up a good total.
