When He Plays At Top He Will Change The Game, Says Suresh Raina on Why Rohit Should Open Against Australia

In a recent statement, Indian cricket legend Suresh Raina has expressed his opinion that India's top batsman Rohit Sharma should open the batting against Australia in their remaining two Test matches. According to Raina, Rohit's inability to produce a significant score at the number six position exposed India's batting lineup weaknesses in the recently defeated second Test.

The 9-run contribution by Rohit in both innings while batting at number six was not enough to push India across the line against Australia's lethal bowling attack. Raina believes that if Rohit bats at the top, his explosive knockings will change the dynamics of the game and help the Indian team to gain an upper hand.

"Suresh said if he plays like that, the team would definitely have a good chance of winning," said an Indian cricket board official. "Rohit's batting is an asset for our team, but we need to utilize it properly. If he bats well at the top, no opposition can match us."

India will take on Australia in their remaining three Tests starting from Friday in Melbourne. This is crucial for India as they look to regain momentum and level the series 1-2.

With his impressive batting skills and aggressive approach, Rohit has the potential to transform India's Test cricket landscape if used effectively at the top of the order. Now, with Suresh Raina urging him to do so, fans are eagerly anticipating what the rest of the series holds for India.
