Pune, IND vs ENG: With a long way to go before the start of the first match, India captain Virat Kohli has announced who will be the team’s opening pair. So now it has been decided which Indian batsman will open the innings with Rohit Sharma.
The opening series of the Twenty20 series against England saw many pairs. The first time Shikhar Dhawan and Lokesh Rahul were given a chance, then in the second match, Dhawan was left out and Ishaan Kishan was given a chance and he scored a half-century. But in the third match, Rohit Sharma returned to the team and Lokesh Rahul opened with Rohit. At that time, Ishant Kishan was sent to bat at number three. In the fourth match, both Rohit and Rahul were open again. But then in the fifth match, everyone was shocked. Because in the fifth match, Virat Kohli was the opener along with Rohit. So now everyone will be curious about who will lead India in the ODI series.
Kohli said, “It has been decided that Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan will open in the first ODI. When it comes time to select a team for ODI cricket, there is no confusion in mind because Rohit and Dhawan have been giving a good opener for the last few years. I was the opener in the last match, but it was a strategy. If you want to promote Suryakumar Yadav or play at the top, you have to do some experimentation. “
Kohli further said, “Rohit and I have had a good batting experience so far. We have batted a lot together. But it is not possible to say that we will both open now. “If I can come to the opener, a batsman like Suryakumar can get justice or bat at the top. So I think I should be able to play any role.”
