The 37-year-old is in Australia playing in the warm up game against Prime Minister’s XI in Canberra. It is believed that Rohit will bat in the middle order during the 2nd Test match in Adelaide. The move was on expected lines thanks to the 201-run stand between Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul in Perth.

India won the toss and chose to bowl in the warm up against PM XI in Canberra on Sunday. The game was supposed to be a 50-over affair before yet another short spell of rain meant that the game was reduced to 46-over per side.

Sam Konstas and Jack Clayton added 109 runs for the third wicket in 16.5 overs. Harshit Rana then ran through the middle order to claim 4/44 from 6 overs. Sam Konstas then added 67 runs for the 8th wicket with Hanno Jacobs in 12.3 overs. The best batter for PM XI was Konstas who scored 107 runs from 97 balls with 14 fours and a six.

Akash Deep ended with 2 wickets while Mohammed Siraj, Washington Sundar, Ravindra Jadeja, and Prasidh Krishna picked a wicket each.
