Virat Kohli suggested the idea to promote Rishabh Pant at no.5 to keep up with the left-right combination in batting order, Vikram Rathour has revealed.
Along with Shardul Thakur, Sundar added a 121-run stand for the seventh wicket - the highest seventh-wicket stand by India in a Test match in Brisbane.
India batting coach Vikram Rathour has reacted to the Steve Smith incident during the final day of the 3rd Test in Sydney.
Rathour also understands the pressure of replacing Dhoni, but he reckons that it will only make him a better and a stronger cricketer.
Rathour, who played six Tests and seven ODIs for India between 1996 and 1997, replaced Sanjay Bangar as the batting coach last year.
India's T20 team has been doing really well in New Zealand and the young guns have contributed significantly to its success, leaving the batting coach hugely impressed.
The 22-year-old Roorkee-born Pant, who is the team's first choice white-ball wicket-keeper, has so far played 15 ODIs, and scored only 346 runs.
Dhawan, who made a comeback in the T20 side in the just-concluded three-match series against Sri Lanka, was also among the runs, while Rahul, too, is having a great time with the bat.
India skipper Virat Kohli had lent his support to Pant, saying the team has belief in the young wicketkeeper's ability and therefore he will be given all the support by the management to perform.
All set to make a comeback in domestic cricket, Shaw was suspended for failing a dope test. Additionally, there were reports of the batsman losing focus during India's last tour of Australia, where he got injured in a warm-up game.
The Indian pace trio comprising Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yadav and Mohammed Shami ran through the Bangladesh batting line-up as Virat Kohli and his boys registered a comfortable win at the Holkar Stadium.
