In Rohit’s absence, the 32-year-old from Bengaluru settled into the opener’s slot as if he was made for the job. He was among India’s best batters at Perth but whether it was good enough to convince the skipper to move down the order remains to be seen. While it is a mystery for the media and the fans currently, the team management has already made up its mind.

“I’ve been told (my position),” said Rahul on Wednesday. “But I’ve also been told not to share it. We’ll have to wait for day one or maybe when the captain (Rohit) comes here tomorrow.”

At the same time, Rahul issued a disclaimer as well: “I’ve said this before. I just want to be in the playing XI. Pick me in wherever. I just want to go there, bat and play for the team.”
