Rahul has failed to impress. His average is below 35 which is not acceptable after having played 36 tests. Rohit Sharma with slightly better average was always classified as test failure.
Prithvi is under ban for consuming some medicine for cough releief which has banned substance. In July 2019 he was banned for 8 months.
Shikhar Dhawan was totally flop like Rahul in the overseas tours and got dropped.
Mayank Agarwal was the only successful opener abroad in Australia when Shikhar and Rahul had a bad time away from India. So he and Prithvi Shaw will be the first choice imo. I douby Rohit will survive the tour to NZ as opener. I feel after the tour to NZ Rohit will make way for Prithvi Sharma in test format.
