India captain Rohit Sharma is set to play on top order in the Boxing Day Test against Australia at Melbourne Cricket Stadium in Melbourne.

After missing the first Test at Perth, Rohit returned to the Adelaide pink-ball Test but chose to bat down the order following the immense success of the opening pair of Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul during the Perth Test win.

Rohit has been struggling in the current Test season, which kicked off with the Bangladesh series. He has only managed to score 152 runs in seven games, with an average of just 11.69.

Addressing the media on Christmas Eve, Rohit quashed all doubts, stating succinctly, “It’s fine.” His calm demeanor offered much-needed reassurance to fans and teammates alike.
