As said by some bros earlier, india shud ve gone with Mayank-vihari opening combo & Rahul in the middle or same opening combo & Hardik in the middle, with 3rd seamer not available he cud ve filled 3rd seamers slot & provide middle order batting option, these 9 runs by Rahul anybody could've scored.
Also feel Rahul has a gud potential & player for the future & out of confidence & form at the moment, needs a break now.
Missing Hardik here, seeing the bounce/pace generated by Aussies in the 1st session. Unless for a fitness issue, Hardik s non selection is a blunder.
Meanwhile i feel Mayank seems to be the find of the series for India.
