DTVHINDIIND v AFG: Rohit-Virat will open against Afghanistan! Apart from these, India has two more options
Keeping the T20 World Cup 2024 in mind, the BCCI Selection Committee announced a strong Indian team for this series. Senior players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have returned to the T20 team after a break of more than a year. Since now Rohit and Virat have returned to the T-20 team and Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal are also in the team. So now the question in everyone’s mind is, who will open for India in this series against Afghanistan. 3 opening combinations that India can try in the Afghanistan series 3 possible opening combinations for IND v AFG 1) Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma can open against Afghanistan Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.

He has been India’s best opener in T20I cricket and it should be no surprise if he opens the batting against Afghanistan. His opening partner should be Virat Kohli as he had a great season as an opener with Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL 2023. Kohli scored many centuries as an opener. Also, he has formed some great partnerships with Rohit Sharma in international cricket. If the duo of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma gets going, it will be a nightmare for any bowling unit in the world. India should have the best two batsmen in its team as openers. 2) Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill Rohit Sharma & Shubman Gill (Photo Source: Twitter) 2023 has been a great year for Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill as the opening pair in ODI cricket. He also opened for India in Tests. Perhaps India can now try this pair in T-20 format also. Shubman Gill was the highest run-scorer in IPL 2023. He scored almost 900 runs while opening for Gujarat Titans. The Prince of Indian cricket already has a T20I century to his name, and playing alongside Rohit Sharma will help him become a better batsman. Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra also feels that Gill will open with Rohit in the T20 series between India and Afghanistan. 3) Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal (Pic Source-Twitter) If India wants a left-handed-right-handed opening combination in the T20 World Cup 2024, then it should try Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma as openers against Afghanistan. Two batsmen from Mumbai open for India in Test cricket. During the absence of Rohit Sharma in the T20 team, Yashasvi played some brilliant innings for the Indian team. Both Jaiswal and Sharma have an aggressive approach, which can help India score big in the powerplay overs.

Let us tell you, after a long gap of 13 months, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have returned to the Indian T20 team. Both these players had performed very well in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 and that is why the team was able to make its place in the final. However, India had to face defeat against Australia in the final. At present, the eyes of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will be on the T20 series against Afghanistan. Former South African captain Graeme Smith has given his stand regarding the return of both these players to the Indian team. Speaking to ANI, Graeme Smith said, ‘Looking at the amount of cricket the Indian team plays, it can be said that it is important to give rest to all the players from time to time and new players should also be given a chance. We have seen that many young players from India perform very well in the IPL and they have left their mark in the T20 format as well. I think the coach and selection panel should understand what the players need and what kind of players they need on which pitches. It is not so easy to select players with the kind of talent India has: Graeme Smith The former South African captain further said, ‘India has no dearth of talent and that is why they face a lot of difficulty in selecting players. According to me, along with the experienced players, some young players should also be included and only then the team will perform well. Let us tell you, Rohit and Virat had earlier played a T20 match against Australia in the World Cup. Afghanistan has also announced its team for this tour. Now it remains to be seen whether Afghanistan can give competition to India in its own backyard or not?
