Rohit should play as an opener, says Gavaskar

Sunil Gavaskar feels Rohit Sharma should play as an opener which will give him more time to setlle down. Rohit Sharma currently bats at No.3 for the team, reports Sportskeeda.
Rohit Sharma, the captain of Mumbai Indians, served as the opening batsman for the team till the 9th edition of the Indian Premier League. But for some reason, he shifted down to the position at No.3 and has left the opening position for the wicket-keeper-batsman, Jos Buttler.
This move has not impressed the veteran Sunil Gavaskar. And According to him, Rohit Sharma is a better player as an opener and he should get back to his position and this will also allow Buttler to play his natural game. 
In the year 2013, Sharma got a shot at opening for the national side and this opportunity completely changed his records. From a player who was always under criticism, he entirely transformed into a reliable opener in all limited-overs format of the game. Since moving up the order, his average almost doubled while his strike rate increased from 79 to 89.
