Rohit Sharma Replacement: One reckons KL Rahul , Ruturaj Gaikw and Abhimanyu Easwaran are in line to open with Yashasvi Jaiswal in absence of Rohit. Most reckon, given experience of playing Tests in Australia, Rahul is best placed to open with Jaiswal. 

Shubman Gill Replacement: young Indian batter picked up an injury that has forced him to sit out of first Test at Perth. Like Easwaran could be an opening option and also an option at No. 3. Along with Easwaran, Devdutt Pikkal would also be in line for a No. 3 spot in absence of Gill.
