India's opening in Test cricket was not a problem. The duo of Rohit Sharma and Yasswi Jaiswal has been giving the team confidence for the last one year. However, the team will not get Rohit Sharma in the first match of the upcoming Border Gavaskar series. Rohit will not be able to play this Test due to personal reasons. As a result, the team was looking at this team's series with the opening.

However, the continuous failure of Lokesh Rahul and Abhimanyu Iswaran to play as openers for this team is worrying the team management. Both failed in the second unofficial test which started today.

The uncapped Abhimanyu and 53-Test experienced Rahul was the front-runner to partner Jaiswal in the first match of the Gavaskar Trophy. Both have become victims of Michael Nesser today. Abhimanyu departed before opening the run book after playing three balls. Meanwhile, Rahul became a victim of Scott Boland by scoring 4 runs.

India was sitting on 4 wickets for 11 runs on the bouncy wicket of Melbourne. Then the team reached 161 runs by Dhruv Jurel's innings of 80 runs. Nesser took 4 wickets at the cost of 27 runs. In reply, Australia finished the day with 53 runs for 2 wickets.
