In a straightforward response, Indian batter KL Rahul told the reporters he had been advised to refrain from revealing details of India's game plan for the pink ball Test. Rahul was asked if he knew where he would bat in Adelaide, and the batter said that he had been asked not to share any details with the press.

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy will resume after a 10-day break as India takes on Australia in a pink ball Test scheduled at Adelaide on December 6. Ahead of the match, KL Rahul attended a press conference to perform his media duties.

During the press conference, Rahul was quizzed about his probable batting position for the pink ball game. In Rohit Sharma's absence, KL Rahul opened the innings in Perth and scored 77 in the second innings. His 201-run opening partnership with Yashasvi Jaiswal set the tone for India's victory.

However, now that Rohit Sharma has rejoined the team, KL Rahul's opening spot is in jeopardy. That being said, as per RevSportz, KL Rahul evaded the questions around his batting position. While the final decision was conveyed to him by the team management, Rahul refused to share it with the press, citing strict instructions for secrecy.

Rohit Sharma featured in the warm-up game in Canberra and scored only 3 runs batting at no.4. On the flip side, KL Rahul looked in good touch as an opener before he retired to make way for the skipper. Hence, team India has a tough road ahead of the Adelaide Test as choosing the right combination is key to triumph in the pink ball Test.

India fighting 36 all-out demons ahead of Adelaide Test

The last time India and Australia came face to face in a pink ball Test in Adelaide, the visitors touched a new low. Despite having a healthy lead, India collapsed to 36/10 in one of the most bizarre turnarounds witnessed in Test cricket's recent history. Interestingly, Rohit Sharma was not a part of the shambolic moment as he was ruled out of the first two Tests with injuries and quarantine restrictions.
