DTVHINDIWhat should be India’s opening combination in T20 World Cup 2024?
Rohit and Virat have opened the innings only once in T20I cricket, that too against England in Ahmedabad in 2021 India’s opening combination in T20 World Cup 2024 The T20 World Cup 2024 has started in a grand manner. The Indian team has also geared up for its first match. Team India will start its campaign against Ireland on June 5. However, with which opening combination will the Men in Blue take the field and this debate has remained since the announcement of the team. Captain Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal are specialist openers. There is no backup opener in the team, but Shubman Gill has been included in the Indian team as a reserve player. At the same time, Virat Kohli can open, as he has opened for RCB and India. Plan A: Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal should open? Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal should open in the T20 World Cup, as both have opened the innings for Team India before. Rohit Sharma is in form and batted well for Mumbai Indians in the recently concluded IPL 2024. He scored 417 runs at an average of 32.08 and a strike rate of 150 while opening in 14 matches. Yashasvi Jaiswal impressed everyone with his performance in IPL last year. After this he represented India in Test and T20I. In the IPL 2024 season, he scored 435 runs in 15 matches at an average of 31 and a strike rate of 155.91. Plan B: Let Ro-Ko open the innings for India? Virat Kohli is in tremendous form at the moment. He scored 741 runs in IPL 2024 and won the Orange Cap. During this, his average is 61.75 and strike rate is 154.70. He scored five half-centuries and one century while opening for RCB. Rohit is also in good form. Let us tell you that Rohit and Virat have opened the innings only once in T20I cricket, that too against England in Ahmedabad in 2021. During this, both of them made a partnership of 94 runs in just 9 overs. Both scored half-centuries. However, unfortunately since then both of them have not opened together. In this way, if India starts the innings with Rohit and Yashasvi, they will get a left-right combination. Apart from this, if India wants to take advantage of Kohli’s form, then he can be given a chance along with Rohit.
‘The combination has gone haywire because of him’, Rameez Raja’s harsh words about this player
The Pakistan team is currently on a tour of England for a four-match T20 series Ramiz Raja (Image Credit- Twitter) The Pakistan team is currently on a tour of England for a four-match T20 series. Where after the first T20I was washed out due to rain, the host team defeated Pakistan by 23 runs in the second T20I. Now the third match of the series is to be played on May 28. Before this, former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja has given a big statement. Pakistan recently appointed Gary Kirsten as the head coach of the team, who tried to try Saim Ayub as an opening batsman. But his move backfired and Ayub failed to score runs. Let us tell you that Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam were Pakistan’s primary pair in T20I and this pair showed impressive performance. Now after the defeat against England, former Pakistan PCB president Ramiz Raja has said that due to Saim Ayub the entire combination of the Pakistan team has gone haywire. I don’t think Pakistan should stick with Saim- Rameez Raj Rameez Raja said on his YouTube channel, winning or losing is part of the game, but Pakistan could have competed better and could have won in the end, but they made mistakes. First of all, let’s talk about Pakistan’s problems. He said, first Saim Ayub is coming as an opener. I don’t think Pakistan should stick with Saim. He has been given a lot of chances and you have to perform better in international cricket. Rameez Raja further said that, he is immature. You should try the opening pair of Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam again. Because this is the strength of Pakistan and they understand each other’s game. The whole combination has gone haywire because of Saim.

IPL 2024: “Learn from Dhoni, on team combination…”- Navjot Singh Sidhu rebuked Hardik Pandya…!
Mumbai Indians had to face defeat by 6 wickets against Rajasthan Royals in the last match. Navjot Singh Sidhu & Hardik Pandya (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Mumbai Indians have had a very disappointing start in IPL 2024 under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya. In the last match against Rajasthan Royals, Mumbai Indians had to face defeat by 6 wickets. Batting first, Mumbai Indians were able to score only 125 runs at the loss of 9 wickets. Rajasthan Royals chased the target with 27 balls remaining. After the third consecutive defeat this season, Hardik Pandya is being trolled a lot on social media. Former Indian player Navjot Singh Sidhu has given suggestions to Hardik Pandya for the upcoming matches, saying that he should focus on the team combination. Attention should be paid to team combination- Navjot Singh Sidhu After three consecutive defeats in IPL 2024, Hardik Pandya must be feeling a lot of pressure as captain at this time. Cricket commentator Navjot Singh Sidhu says that if Mumbai Indians had won the last two matches, people probably would not have talked. Navjot Singh Sidhu while talking on Star Sports said, ‘There is no such thing as success. If Mumbai Indians had won the last two matches, everyone would have remained silent. I think he (Pandya) should focus on the team combination. When you give away 277 runs, everyone will say that your bowling is not good. The match against Gujarat was close. He was defeated, not humiliated. Navjot Singh Sidhu has also advised Hardik Pandya to learn from Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Sidhu further said, ‘See what Dhoni does. When Devon Conway, who was their leading run-scorer last season, got injured, they got Rachin Ravindra, who is similar and somewhat better. He needs to find that type of replacement. Mumbai Indians are at the bottom of the points table with 3 losses in 3 matches. The team will next play against Delhi Capitals on April 7 at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.
