"I don't think there will be any change in the batting order" - Harbhajan Singh on Indian playing XI for 3rd BGT 2024-25 Test vs Australia
Speaking on the Star Sports Show "Follow the Blues", Harbhajan Singh recently gave his opinions about the Indian team's combination for the upcoming Brisbane Test. He felt that the batting line-up would remain unchanged and backed KL Rahul to continue as openers, considering captain Rohit Sharma's poor form. He said:
"I don't think there will be any change in the batting order. I feel the batting order will be like this only. They will probably go with the same kind of batting order that worked for them in Perth. Rohit is also not in great form. So why would you send him (Rohit) up the order when he is not in form? I feel you should start with KL Rahul and Yashasvi (Jaiswal) only, and Rohit should bat in the middle order."
On the changes in the bowling department, Singh continued:
"I feel Washington Sundar might come back and play in Brisbane. Although Ashwin didn't bowl much and didn't get much opportunity to do anything special, the way Washington Sundar's first BGT match went, he picked up two wickets and is slightly better with the bat, I feel he will be played."
