Du Plessis was the leading run-scorer for RCB in IPL 2023, Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI) Former Team India cricketer Aakash Chopra believes that if the pair of Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis do not perform well at the beginning of IPL 2024, then Royal Challengers Bangalore may change their opening combination. Du Plessis was the leading run-scorer for RCB in IPL 2023, scoring 730 runs in 14 innings at an average of 56.15 and a strike rate of 153.68. Kohli was the second-highest run-scorer for the franchise last season, scoring 639 runs in 14 innings at an average of 53.25 and a strike rate of 139.82. In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra did not pick Kohli and Du Plessis in his top three opening pair in IPL 2024. Explaining the reason behind this, he said, “RCB’s Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli were a very successful pair last year. They can still be very, very good. The only caveat on why I haven’t placed him in the top three is that Faf has played very little cricket since then. This will be a problem. In such a situation, you may see a change in the starting combination.” Chopra believes that if the opening combination of Kohli and Du Plessis fails then RCB can open with Will Jacques or Cameron Green. However, he said that the RCB captain can be dismissed at his own peril and Kohli is Kohli. RCB’s full squad for IPL 2024: Faf du Plessis (captain), Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Anuj Rawat, Dinesh Karthik, Suyyash Prabhudesai, Glenn Maxwell, Will Jacques, Alzarri Joseph, Yash Dayal, Mahipal Lomror, Karn Sharma, Manoj Bhandage, Mayank Dagar, Sourav Chauhan, Swapnil Singh. , Vijaykumar Vishak, Akash Deep, Lockie Ferguson, Tom Curran, Mohammed Siraj, Reece Topley, Himanshu Sharma, Rajan Kumar, Cameron Green, Alzarri Joseph, Yash Dayal, Tom Curran, Lockie Ferguson, Swapnil Singh, Saurav Chauhan.
IPL 2024: “He will answer everyone with his bat” – Aakash Chopra said about Ishan Kishan

Ishan Kishan Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: Twitter) Ahead of IPL 2024, famous cricket commentator Aakash Chopra expects the Mumbai Indians duo, Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma to form a strong opening partnership. Kishan impressed everyone with his performances in IPL 2023, scoring 454 runs in 15 innings that season at a respectable average of 30.27 and a strike rate of 142.76. In contrast, that season was not that good for Rohit. He scored 332 runs in 16 innings, where he averaged 20.75 and strike rate was 132.80. Chopra’s pre-season rankings have Yashasvi Jaiswal-Jos Buttler and Ruturaj Gaikwad-Devon Conway as the top-2 opening pairs for IPL 2024, while Kishan-Rohit are at number three in that list. Kishan was recently dropped from the central contract of BCCI. In such a situation, this IPL season can be very important for them. If Kishan performs well in IPL 2024, he may get a place in India’s T20 World Cup team. In such a situation, as soon as the IPL season starts, all eyes will be on the opening pair of Mumbai Indians who will rock the stage and stake their claim on the international stage. Ishan Kishan will have a lot to prove in this IPL season – Aakash Chopra Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “I now want to move towards Mumbai. First of all, you have relieved Rohit Sharma of captaincy duties. When we talk about a top class player like Rohit Sharma, we say that a 600-run season will definitely happen. However, he has never had a 600-run season. “This could be that season.” He further added, “There is nothing to prove, but still, there is a lot to prove. I think he will do a lot because he is not the captain. Ishan Kishan must be hungry because he has not got the central contract. It’s the only thing he’s playing. What else is he playing?” The former opening batsman further said, “Either he himself has chosen not to play, or he will no longer be selected. So this is their chance. If you make IPL yours, you have chances to move ahead. Then, of course, Wankhede is a flat pitch, the ball will come on the bat well and go far.”
