Former cricketer and commentator Aakash Chopra through a video on his channel that the team management should show faith on Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul to open the inning.
Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul both opened the inning for Team India in the match against Pakistan, however, the opening pair was changed for the New Zealand match with Ishan Kishan joining Rahul and Rohit Sharma coming in at 3. However, the experiment failed badly.
In a recently uploaded video on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra stated that changes need to be done in the batting order to put up a strong fight against Afghanistan.
He said that everyone knew that Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul will be India’s opening pair in the T20 World Cup 2021. He further stated that they are very big players and should be able to handle any test from the opposition.
About Ishan Kishan, he said that if Ishan Kishan will be playing against Afghanistan, then he should bat in the middle order. He said that the battles are won from front thus having KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma open the inning is very important and then Virat Kohli at number 3.
India in T20 World Cup 2021
Team India has got off to the worst possible way in the T20 World Cup 2021, that is being played in the United Arab Emirates and in Oman from the 17th October.
India has had some great warm-up matches against England and Australia, winning both, but when it came down to the main event, Indian cricket team suffered 2 straight defeats to Pakistan and New Zealand.
On the 24th of October, India lost their opening match of the tournament to arch-rival Pakistan by 10 wickets. After that, the poor run of form continued as they lost the 2nd match to New Zealand by 8 wickets.
India now next take on Afghanistan, Scotland and Namibia to wrap off the Super 12 round and needs to win all these matches and hope that other results also on their favour to make it to the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2021.
