Former India cricketer Dodda Ganesh opined that KL Rahul shouldn't be moved back into the middle order after the arrival of Rohit Sharma. "Just have [him] opening throughout the tour...For heaven's sake don't shuffle his spot again...Rohit can bat in...middle order," he added. Rahul scored 26 runs before being given out by the third umpire, a decision which many criticised.
