Kohli’s acceleration never came. Rohit, Dhawan scored at run a ball and Jaddu scratched around for 20 runs.

If not for Rahul’s powerful finish, the total could have been worse.It is still below par. We are still 25 runs short. 
 

Australia have 2-3 big hitters in the lower order. Not easy to defend.

Kohli never accelerated in wc games too.

He does not have power game to hit sixes in last 10 overs against top bowlers.

He played quite a few matches in eng and aus. And showed quite poor technique.  But will be very glad if he makes a comeback and also seals his spot in t20 and odis..the 100 in last eng test was good to watch though.

Don't forget a century on debut in Sydney. To succeed in SA, Eng, AUS as opener you have to be in totally calm headspace. KL was droped in first test against SA, the very first series of our 2018 overseas tours, then played at No. 3 in first test of Eng tour. Murali Vijay, his opening partner, also had a poor 2018, despite stellar performances on overseas tours of 2014 in Eng and SA. If Vijay and KL had been given confidence that they are no. 1 opening pair, picture might have been different. But all water under bridge now..KL has to pile 200+ scores in FC to come back, and a season of county will help.

Gill as MO bat ,at best can be sent at 3(or maybe 4) ,i dont think he will have impact beyond that number

He will work at 3 or 4...ideally, Kohli shld play 4, with gill and KL on either side. Dhawan shld be phased out by next year keeping WC23 in mind - Rohit should be partnered with a dasher like Shaw or Ruturaj. Pant at 6, Hardik 7..and 4 pure bowlers shld be the line up. Only trouble is, none of the batsmen can bowl! So maybe KL has to don gloves and we play Hardik 6, Dube/Jadeja 7
