KL Rahul has refused to divulge the makeup of India's opening partnership for the second test against Australia amid speculation that he will drop down the order to make way for returning captain Rohit Sharma.

KL Rahul said Wednesday he will bat "wherever" as India face a conundrum in the second Test against Australia with the expected return of Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill.

Resurgent Indian batter KL Rahul believes the tourists can take confidence for the rest of the series from their demolition of Australia in Perth.

With noses bloodied and pride stung from the pounding in Perth, Australia will look to hit back with the pink ball in the second test against India at Adelaide Oval as the tourists welcome back returning skipper Rohit Sharma.

The Australian batting line-up seemingly had no answers to the Indian seam attack in Perth as they were bowled out for 104 and 238 on the way to a 295-run loss and those struggles should be amplified by the use of the pink ball.
