Sehwag said that the more attacking batsmen can score runs

“Prithvi and Rahul should open. Because the trend Down Under is that whoever is an attacking batsman makes a lot of runs and wins matches for the team,” Virender Sehwag told India TV.

Sehwag also opined that premier Indian batsman Rohit Sharma should be included in the Test team.

“Definitely Rohit should be part of the playing XI. A player who has scored 3 double hundreds in ODIs shouldn’t be sitting out of Tests. I have been repeating this for a long time now,” Sehwag added.

Australia will host India in the first Test of four match series, starting from December 6 in Adelaide.

The Test series will be followed by three-match One-Day International (ODI) series, with the first encounter slated to take place in Sydney on January 12.

Squad for Four Test match series against Australia:

Virat Kohli (c), M Vijay, KL Rahul, Prithvi Shaw, Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Hanuma Vihari, Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, Parthiv Patel, R Ashwin, R Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Shami, Ishant, Umesh, Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
