Rohit Sharma can open in Tests at home: Adam Gilchrist

TIL Desk Sports/ Former Australian cricketer Adam Gilchrist believes Rohit Sharma is a world class player and can open in Test cricket for India at home. The former Australia opener, however, feels Rohit can find it more challenging when India play Test matches in foreign conditions.

“At home, Rohit can most definitely play as opener,” Gilchrist said on Wednesday. “It might be more challenging when touring Australia, South Africa and England,” he added.

Gilchrist, who was Rohit’s teammate in the IPL during their stint with the Deccan Chargers, also said that the 32-year-old Indian batsman deceives people by his class. “I love Rohit. We’ve played together for Deccan Chargers in the IPL,” said the 47-year-old.
