The pink-ball warm-up match in Canberra is of utmost importance for India as it is the only practice match they will play ahead of the day-night second Test in Adelaide.
And this is also the first match of this tour of Australia where captain Rohit Sharma missed the first Test in Perth due to the birth of his son.
Young Devdutt Padikkal will be replaced by Indian returning captain Rohit Sharma in the playing XI for the second Test in Adelaide.
Everyone will be intrigued by KL Rahul’s batting performance in the pink-ball warm-up match in Canberra.
Rahul could replace Padikkal at number three depending on whether the injured Shubman Gill recovers in time for the match.
Gill missed the first Test match and is yet to start batting in the nets after suffering a hairline fracture during an intra-squad match at WACA.
With only a few training sessions possible with the pink ball in Adelaide, team management may decide not to take the risk. gill Unless he gets enough net practice. If Gill is fit, Dhruv Jurel will be automatically dropped.
With Rohit unavailable for the first Test match in Perth, Rahul was seen more as a makeshift opener.
However, with scores of 26 and 77 in two innings at the Optus Stadium, he was the most compact of all Indian batsmen.
Rahul has played for India A at the MCG and has now established himself at the top of the order after playing a Test match.
For the past five years, the Indian captain has been playing in Test matches while also looking to concede runs.
Despite playing on difficult pitches, Rohit’s performance with the bat was a bit lackluster in the five home Test matches. Using more horizontal bat shots will help him regain his form on Australian pitches with real carry and bounce.
