India captain Rohit Sharma wants his team’s other bowlers to “step up” and help pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah, who has been the standout star of the series with Australia.

If Rohit Sharma opts to open with Yashasvi Jaiswal in the fourth Test at the MCG, KL Rahul is likely to bat at No.3. Melbourne weather may influence India's decision to play two spinners.

Rohit has been struggling in the current Test season, which kicked off with the Bangladesh series. He has only managed to score 152 runs in seven games, with an average of just 11.69.

Rohit Sharma's viral ball-grip moment fuelled speculation about his potential role as a bowler in India's Boxing Day Test against Australia, raising excitement as the skipper aims to navigate mounting criticism over his form and leadership.
