Cricketer-turned-commentator Aakash Chopra said Rohit Sharma's decision to return to the opening slot for the fourth Test was in his interest and not in the team's. "KL Rahul was opening very well...Shubman Gill did well in 2023...He was looking good in Adelaide too...But, he had to be dropped," Aakash added. Rohit scored three and nine runs in the fourth Test.
