Rohit Sharma took a call and it was totally in his interests’: Indian captain accused of putting himself over team

Rohit Sharma has been under scrutiny for changing the batting line-up in the MCG Test, demoting in-form KL Rahul to number 3 and putting himself in the opening slot. Rohit batted in the middle order in the Adelaide and Brisbane Tests, where he failed to fire at number 6, but Rahul looked solid in those matches at the top. However, Rohit took the bold decision to return as opener at the MCG as Rahul was dropped to number 3, which led to Shubman Gill's ouster from the XI.
