Shastri suggests Rohit to play the aggressor at No 6
Rohit Sharma’s decision to bat in the middle order in the Adelaide and Brisbane Tests, has failed to yield the desired results for the Indian team in the Border-Gavaskar series so far.
The cricket fraternity extends its wishes to India opener Rohit Sharma as the Hitman turned 33 on Thursday.
The swashbuckling batsman, who made his international debut in 2007, has been one of the key players for India in the past seven years.

Rohit started his career as a middle-order batsman but in 2013 Champions Trophy, the right-handed batter was given an opportunity to open the innings for India and since then he never looked back.

The Mumbaikar is the only batsman to score three double hundreds in ODIs and four centuries in T20Is.
