Now former India coach Ravi Shastri has offered a suggestion as to who should be the T20 World Cup opener. Virat Kohli and KL Rahul have been tested for the opening position. It is not clear who among them will be the opener along with Rohit Sharma in the World Cup. Ravi Shastri openly shares his views on the matter.
Shastri is of the opinion that the decision to make Kohli the opener should be delayed. Shastri’s response is to see Rahul and Rohit as openers. It can be changed if there is an injury or something. Deep batting is needed in the middle order. Because pace bowlers are more likely to take wickets in Australian conditions. Therefore, Shastri assessed that Kohli’s experience in the middle order is important for India.
Rahul is batting beautifully as an opener. Why confuse it? There is no need to cause unnecessary worry. Rahul has started. Shastri also said that Rahul has reached the mindset of finding a big score. Rahul, who missed most of India’s T20 matches this year, made a comeback in the Asia Cup. He scored two fifties for India in the last three matches.
With Pakistan’s successful record in T20, India only have a chance to come out on topBefore the World Cup, India have four T20 matches and two warm-up matches. India’s 3rd T20 internationals are against Australia (Sunday, September 25 in Hyderabad) and South Africa (3 T20 matches). India’s World Cup XI will be clear by the time these matches are over. With the arrival of Arshdeep Singh, the strength of the bowling team will also increase.
