Rohit Sharma, India's captain, batted at No. 5 as KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal opened in the pink-ball warm-up game against Australia's Prime Minister's XI in Canberra. Rahul and Jaiswal impressed with their consistent opening partnership, following their record-breaking 201-run stand in Perth. Sam Konstas starred for the PM's XI with a scintillating 107 off 97 balls, despite India restricting the hosts to 240, thanks to Harshit Rana's 4-wicket haul. As India prepares for the pink-ball Test in Adelaide, discussions swirl around Rohit's batting position, given Rahul's form. This game marks a crucial step toward the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
