As the Border-Gavaskar Trophy progresses, ahead of the 2nd Test match at Adelaide—a highly anticipated Pink Ball Test starting tomorrow, December 6, at 9:30 AM on Star Sports—former India cricketer Irfan Pathan spoke exclusively with Star Sports. He shared his insights on what to expect from the match, including potential batting lineup changes with Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill returning to the squad, and KL Rahul's batting position.
Speaking exclusively on Star Sports, former Team India cricketer Irfan Pathan shared his insights on the first-day preview of the Adelaide Day-Night Pink Ball Test Match. He said: "I think in the Test Match, Rohit Sharma will be back. He is the captain, so he will have a straight swap with Devdutt Padikkal. And Shubman Gill should also be in the squad, instead of Dhruv Jurel. There were a lot of questions on the batting position of KL Rahul. He should open with Yashasvi Jaiswal. Rohit Sharma has batted in different numbers. So he will be able to adjust very well. Since it was a very good opening, you don't want to change it, especially after Perth's win. So Rohit and Shubman Gill will bat in the middle order, and KL Rahul and Yashasvi will both open."
"One more thing, which I think is very important to talk about in the preview. When it's time for twilight, that is the biggest challenging moment in the Pink Ball Test Match. because. You see a lot of wickets fall during that time. So if you counter that, then this Test Match is ours."
