Going into the second Test, the biggest question India faced was the batting position of KL Rahul after he put up a brilliant 201-run opening stand with Yashasvi Jaiswal in the second innings of the Perth Test. When asked about his batting position in the second Test, Rohit confirmed Rahul's batting spot. "KL will open the innings and I will play somewhere in the middle. Not easy for me but it's the best for the team," Rohit told reporters on the eve of the second Test.
