A warm-up match was played between India and Bangladesh on June 1 at Nassau County International Stadium in New York. The Indian team won this match. Yashasvi Jaiswal was rested from India’s side against Bangladesh and Sanju Samson opened with captain Rohit Sharma. Not only this, Rishabh Pant was seen playing at number three.

According to former cricketer Sanjay Bangar, Yashasvi Jaiswal will not be included in the starting playing XI of T20 World Cup 2024 and this is the reason why the team management did not support him even in the warm-up match. According to Sanjay Bangar, Virat Kohli should open with Rohit Sharma in the T20 World Cup 2024. This will also improve the combination of the team.

Sanjay Bangar told Star Sports, ‘I think the team management has decided that Yashasvi will not play in the first match. If Yashasvi was in their plans, he would have definitely played in the warm-up match. It is clear that Virat Kohli will be seen opening.’

Virat Kohli’s stats have always been very good, no matter which order he plays in: Sanjay Bangar

Sanjay Bangar further said, ‘The team has all the quality players. It is not at all that they cannot score runs against left-arm spinners. The players of the Indian team have scored a lot of runs against left-arm spinners. Not only this, the performance of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma has also been very good against them. The team can make its plan according to the situation. There is no doubt that Virat’s statistics are very good no matter in which order the team makes him bat.’

Let us tell you, India defeated Bangladesh by 60 runs in the warm-up match. All the players from the team performed very well. Now India has to play its first match of this important tournament against Ireland on June 5 at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. After this, the Indian team will play a match against Pakistan on June 9 at the same ground. The best thing about India is that all their players are in very good form at this time and they will definitely want to leave their mark in the upcoming matches.

You see him bowling and you just think, I’m glad I don’t have to come out to bat.” He further said, “I was surprised that India went there (Australia) and defeated Australia, where usually it is very difficult to go and play cricket.
