Young Yashasvi Jaiswal played an innings of 161 runs, while former Indian captain Virat Kohli returned to form and scored the 81st century of his international cricket career. On the other hand, in the absence of Rohit Sharma, experienced wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul, who came to open the match, was seen batting brilliantly. In the match, he played an innings of 77 runs in 176 balls, and played an important role in giving a strong start to Team India. So now the second match of the BGT series between the two teams will be played at Adelaide Oval from 6th December. However, Rohit Sharma is going to make a comeback from Team India in this match. However, even after this, experienced batsman Cheteshwar Pujara says that even after Rohit is in the playing eleven, Rahul should play in the top order. Cheteshwar Pujara gave a big statement Let us tell you that before the start of the second match between Australia and India to be held in Adelaide, Cheteshwar Pujara was quoted as saying by ESPN Cricinfo – I think, for some reason if we can continue the same batting order like KL. And if Yashasvi opens, then Rohit can come at number three, and Shubman Gill can come at number five. If Rohit wants to open, then KL should bat at number 3. Nothing after this. But I think he (KL Rahul) should bat in the top order because it suits his game. I hope we will not tamper with it.

BGT 2024-25: “There is a strong need to play practice matches…”, Sanjay Manjrekar expressed concern over India’s current form.
Not having practice matches can make a difference, especially this time because of the form and confidence with which the team is going to Australia – Sanjay Manjrekar Team India & Sanjay Manjrekar (Photo Source: Getty Images) The Indian team is going to play the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series against Australia from November 22 in Perth. The team is currently working hard for the first Test in Perth. Before the start of the series, it was announced that Team India would not play a single practice match. India had to suffer a humiliating 3-0 defeat against New Zealand in the last Test series. Let us tell you, after 24 years, a team clean-swept India at home. Team India’s form remains a matter of concern due to poor performance in the series against New Zealand. In view of this, former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar gave his opinion regarding India’s form and the need for practice matches. Practice matches are decreasing in recent times- Sanjay Manjrekar Before the Test series against Australia, the Indian team was scheduled to play an intra-squad match against India A, but it was cancelled. Sanjay Manjrekar feels that players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma would have liked to play some practice matches before the series, especially with the kind of form the team is in right now. The former cricketer also talked about India-A’s struggle against Australia-A despite being in form at home. Sanjay Manjrekar while speaking on ESPNcricinfo said, Not having practice matches could make a difference, especially this time with the kind of form and confidence the team is going into in Australia. The trend in recent times has been that practice matches are becoming less frequent, but on this particular tour we saw India A batsmen struggle despite being in form in Indian conditions. So yes, India was in dire need of playing more practice matches. Sanjay Manjrekar also emphasized on how the Indian team can take advantage of not playing practice matches. The team has often performed better when they have not played many practice matches before the series. India can respond to the fact that the team performed better when they were given fewer practice matches. In the 90s, we played many practice matches and still lost to Australia 0-4. I think the Indian batsmen are getting used to the conditions, but this time there are a lot of young players. “Maybe the previous team didn’t need the experience, but I think we needed some matches here, and I think Virat and Rohit would have liked to play practice matches.”
