5 Players who can replace Rohit Sharma as India's opener against Australia in ODI and T20I series
India will certainly miss Rohit at the top but they have good enough players to replace him.
4. Mayank Agarwal
As mentioned ahead, Rohit Sharma missed the ODI series against New Zealand earlier in 2020. In his absence, Mayank Agarwal opened the innings for the Men in Blue. Agarwal did not have a memorable ODI debut as he ended the series with mere 36 runs to his name.
The right-handed batsman impressed the fans with his IPL 2020 performance. He played a significant role in the little success that the Kings XI Punjab achieved this year. Agarwal registered his maiden IPL ton against the Rajasthan Royals.
Since he has done incredibly well for Karnataka in the domestic circuit, Agarwal will most probably be the team’s first-choice replacement for Rohit Sharma. The former Rising Pune Supergiant has sealed his spot as a Test opener, and a consistent performance in the limited-overs series versus the Aussies could help him secure his place in the other formats as well.
