As India gears up for the second Test against Australia in Adelaide, there is one concern that looms large in the dressing room that is the form and batting position of captain Rohit Sharma. While India are set to welcome back their skipper after his absence from the opening Test, his performance in the pink-ball warm-up game on Sunday (December 1) has only added to the uncertainty surrounding his role in the side.

Rohit had stayed back in Mumbai for the birth of his second child, and missed India's first Test against Australia. He rejoined the squad midway through the Test series but only took part in the warm-up match against the Australia Prime Minister's XI at Manuka Oval in Canberra. However, his return to action was less than ideal, as he was dismissed cheaply for just 3 runs, looking uncomfortable during his brief stay at the crease.

The issue that now confronts the Indian team is where exactly to position Rohit in the batting order. Traditionally a solid opener, Rohit Sharma has been India’s go-to man at the top of the order in recent years, but with Shubman Gill and KL Rahul already established in those spots, there is no clear answer yet as to whether Rohit should slot back into his old role or be moved down the order. 

It is also important to mention that Rohit’s form has been a topic of concern in recent times so ahead of the second Test, in this article, let's take a look at Rohit Sharma's record at Adelaide Oval.
