It was way back in 2018 that Rohit Sharma last batted in the middle order in Tests. It was at No.6. Here, we take a look at the playing XI of India when Rohit Sharma last batted in the middle-order in Tests.
Openers: Hanuma Vihari and Mayank Agarwal
India did not have in-form openers back then. Hence, Hanuma Vihari opened the batting. Both Vihari and Mayank are out of the Indian Team. However, they are still working hard at the domestic level.
Middle-Order: Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli (C), Ajinkya Rahane, Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant (WK)
It was a strong middle order for Team India back then. Pujara and Rahane are still actively part of the game. They are playing at the domestic level. Rishabh Pant is back on the Indian team and is playing well.
All-Rounders: Ravindra Jadeja played when Rohit Sharma batted in the middle-order in Tests
Ravindra Jadeja is still part of the Indian Team. However, he is not the preferred all-rounder for overseas Tests now. Washington Sundar has taken up the role.
Bowlers: Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah
Shami and Bumrah are still a part of the Indian Team. Shami is returning back from injury. Ishant Sharma is out of the Indian Team and is a part of the domestic competitions.
