KL Rahul can open in the first test:
Rahul is currently in Australia, where he is playing for India A against Australia A. Although this match has not been good for him, but after this great news, it is expected that his time will change and he will be able to do wonders on the field. Even after this match, Rahul will remain in Australia, where he will join the Team India squad in a few days. Rahul has also got a place in Team India and it is expected that he can be seen opening for Team India in the first Test starting on November 22 in Perth.
The reason behind Rahul getting a place in the team is the absence of captain Rohit Sharma, who is playing in the first Test is not certain. Incidentally, captain Rohit will also not be a part of this Test due to personal reasons and this personal reason is believed to be the birth of his child. Sources close to Rohit have revealed that the Indian captain is going to become a father for the second time and at this time he wants to be with his wife Ritika. In such a situation, he will not be able to be a part of the first Test.
