Rohit ended the Test series as the second highest run-getter (202 runs) behind skipper Virat Kohli (233) with his second half-century in the series. Asked about his preferred batting slot, Rohit said, "If you ask anyone, they are not going to say this is my number. Nowhere it's written in the world that No 4 belongs to this person, No 3 belongs to that person. As a batsman, you want to bat as up the order as possible to get more opportunities, face more balls and score big runs.
