Virat Kohli, who was unavailable in the first match, has joined the team and is ready to return to the field. However, Kohli’s return in the second T20 against Afghanistan can now become a headache for the team management.

Was started. Before the match started, Rohit Sharma had told that Jaiswal was not playing due to back pain. Now with the arrival of Kohli, there are many options for the opening pair. Meanwhile, with Kohli preparing to return to the playing eleven, former cricketer Parthiv Patel has backed Virat to open the innings with captain Rohit. Let us tell you that Virat Kohli last played a T20 match for India in the 2022 T20 World Cup. Debate broke out regarding opening Parthiv Patel said on Jio Cinema before the series decider in Indore, Virat Kohli’s contribution as an opening batsman has been huge. Whenever he has played as an opening batsman for India in T20 cricket, he has scored a lot of runs. He can decide the direction of the innings. If he gets a chance to face 120 balls, he can score a big score. Whereas former Indian cricketer Saba Karim wants Kohli to bat at number-3. He said, I am seeing Virat at number-3, keeping in mind that the upcoming T20 World Cup is to be played in West Indies and USA. India will play on a slow wicket in the Super-8 in West Indies. There you need someone who can control the entire innings. I think Rohit Sharma is supporting Virat Kohli for that role. read this also- BBL 2024: Perth Scorchers included this powerful batsman in the squad at the end of the season
