The Indian team for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 is going to be announced soon. BCCI will announce the team in the last week of this month. The tension of the Indian team selector has increased regarding this. This is a big question as to who will open with Rohit Sharma in the World Cup. There were speculations that Mumbai Indians' explosive batsman Ishan Kishan or Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill would be seen opening along with Rohit Sharma, but the name that has emerged is shocking.
These greats will be seen opening
ICC T20 World Cup is going to start from June 1. For this, all the teams have intensified their preparations. The Indian team is also not behind in this. The team selectors have almost decided who will be seen opening with Rohit Sharma. According to a report, neither Ishan Kishan nor Shubman Gill will be seen opening with Rohit Sharma in the World Cup. Whereas Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul will also not be seen opening. It is being claimed that Virat Kohli, who opens for Royal Challengers Bangalore, can be seen opening with Rohit. This is a shocking revelation for the fans of King Kohli. There was a time when it was difficult to include Kohli in the team.
Ahead in the race for Orange Cap
It was being claimed in the report that the selectors of the Indian team are not showing much interest in Virat Kohli, but now the selectors are not only showing interest in King Kohli but are also seeing him as an opening batsman. This has dealt a big blow to Ishan Kishan, Shubman Gill and many other players who were in the race to open. Virat Kohli's record during opening is quite good. King Kohli has been opening for RCB for a long time. Even in this IPL season, Kohli has scored 361 runs in 7 matches played so far. During this period, he has also scored 2 half-centuries and one century.
Virat's record in opening
Virat Kohli's record during opening is quite good. He has scored the most runs while opening for RCB. While opening for Bengaluru in 105 innings, Kohli has scored 3972 runs at a strike rate of 136.44. The special thing is that Kohli's average in these matches has also been 45.13. From this it has become clear that Kohli is the best option for opening. Due to this, he can be seen opening with Rohit Sharma in the World Cup.
