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.
In the 37th match of Indian Premier League (IPL), Rohit Sharma’s Mumbai Indians thrashed Dinesh Karthik-led Kolkata Knight Riders by 13 runs on Sunday at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai to remain in the playoff hunt.

3- In IPL 2018 so far, MI opener Suryakumar Yadav (six times) has been the top-scorer, most for any batsman from any side in the ongoing season.
