AND there it was. About 24 hours after KL Rahul told the media in Adelaide jokingly that he had been informed about his batting position but asked not to reveal it, captain Rohit Sharma cleared the air by announcing that he will be moving down the order to pave way for the 32-year-old at the top in the second Test against Australia beginning Friday.
"Yes, he (Rahul) will be opening the batting. I'll bat somewhere in the middle," Sharma told reporters on the eve of the pink-ball Test in Adelaide.
