He played an innings of 91 runs in the Gaba Test against West Indies, which is his first fifty-plus score in four innings while opening. I am not upset in any way- Steve Smith Australian batsman Steve Smith says that he just wants to score runs for the team in the home Test series against India and is not too worried about his batting position. Steve Smith said while talking on Code Sports, You’ll have to ask the men in charge but I’m not upset in any way. There’s some challenging conditions with the new ball. So I would love to score a few more runs. Sometimes that’s how it is, but I played quite well in the second innings at the Gabba where unfortunately we couldn’t get the win. It’s just a situation for me so it doesn’t really bother me too much. Smith wants to play IPL again Steve Smith has expressed his disappointment over not being included in the Australian squad for the T20 World Cup 2024. Smith has also expressed his desire to play in the IPL again. I don’t know about international T20. You’ll have to ask the selectors. I was disappointed not to be in the World Cup but that’s the way things go. They all want big hitters. I would definitely love to be part of the IPL again. So just keep scoring runs, you never know anything can happen.

Virat Kohli will open in the World Cup, Yashasvi Jaiswal out of playing 11…?
Kohli is batting amazingly as an opener in the IPL and he is in very red hot form in the ongoing season. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli (Image Credit- Twitter Team India has announced the squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup. Since the announcement of the team, there has been a discussion as to who will open with Rohit Sharma in the tournament. There is a debate going on among cricket pundits regarding the names of young batsmen Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli for this place. Actually, you must be thinking that Virat Kohli bats at number 3, then why are questions being raised about his opening. Let us tell you that Kohli is batting brilliantly as an opener in the IPL and he is in a very red hot form in the current season. In such a situation, everyone wants Kohli to open with Rohit Sharma. Kohli has scored 708 runs in 14 innings of the ongoing IPL season and is at number 1 in the list of highest run scorers. But still questions are being raised about his strike rate and talks are going on that Kohli should not be given a place in the team. Meanwhile, Australian legend Ricky Ponting has given a statement in support of Kohli and silenced the critics. Australia legend Ponting, a three-time World Cup winner, says that strike rate has been given more priority than average in recent times, but it is important for Kohli to remain in Team India. Ponting told the ICC, “I think three or four years ago, there was a talk amongst teams that you could take 60 balls in the top order but still score 80-100 runs. It was about scoring runs and not about the number of balls you played. But now the game is based on strike rate, where instead of scoring 80 runs in 55 balls, you can have a bigger impact on the game by scoring 40 runs in 15 balls.” Should other players be given place in place of Virat Kohli? While talking to ICC, Ricky Ponting said that- “The selectors will have to take a decision regarding India’s opening pair. Yashasvi Jaiswal is also in the team, a decision will have to be taken on his batting position. I am sure that Virat Kohli will open the innings with Rohit Sharma. He can play the role of opening batsman very well. After him, Suryakumar Yadav and other batsmen can score runs quickly. In today’s cricket, there is talk about a higher than average strike rate, but Virat Kohli’s usefulness to the Indian team cannot be underestimated. “It’s fun with Virat. I think people in India always try to find a reason not to pick him or try to find a reason why maybe he is not as good as some of these other guys in the T20 game. Kohli can play everywhere in the top order and middle order. Whenever there are big matches, Kohli takes responsibility and gives you the finishing touches. Kohli has that kind of class…
“Rohit and Virat should open” – former veteran said after seeing the poor form of Yashasvi Jaiswal
Yashasvi Jaiswal’s performance in IPL 2024 was quite ordinary. Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal (Pic Source-Twitter) T20 World Cup 2024 will be organized right after IPL 2024. For this, BCCI has announced the squad, in which Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli have been given place as top order batsmen. After seeing this squad, there is a question in everyone’s mind that who will open for India in the World Cup? However, looking at the kind of squad the board has selected, fans and cricket experts believe that Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal will open for India, while Virat Kohli will bat at number three. But considering the poor form Yashasvi Jaiswal is going through, the former veteran all-rounder has suggested the name of a different opening pair for Team India. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma should open in the World Cup – Irfan Pathan Irfan Pathan Speaking to Star Sports, he said, “It is a big matter of concern because I believe that Yashasvi Jaiswal should start in the World Cup because he is a left-handed batsman. Therefore the opposing team will not start with the left arm spinner. If Yashasvi is in form then he will be a little hesitant in doing so. However, in this form, the team will think twice. The team will wonder whether they should open with in-form Virat Kohli along with Rohit Sharma, or go with Yashasvi Jaiswal, who is young and inexperienced. In such a situation, it is very important for him to come in form.” Pathan further said, “The good thing for Yashasvi is that he will get opportunities because his team has qualified and if they finish in the top two then he will get more opportunities. With this in mind, there are some positives for Yashasvi, but this form will also trouble Rajasthan Royals a lot.” Jaiswal has scored 348 runs in the 13 matches played so far at an average of 29.00.
Virat Kohli should open, Rohit should bat at number 4 – Matthew Hayden’s surprising statement
Former Australian cricketer Matthew Hayden believes that Virat Kohli should open for India along with Yashasvi Jaiswal in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. This T20 World Cup will be played next month hosted by West Indies and USA. Kohli has been in great form in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) and is the leading run-scorer with 634 runs in 12 matches at an average of 70.44 and a strike rate of 153.51. He has opened so far this season and has scored five fifties and one century. Yashasvi Jaiswal and captain Rohit Sharma are specialist opening batsmen in India’s 15-member team for the T20 World Cup. Kohli is likely to come in to bat at number 3. However, Australia’s veteran opening batsman Hayden wants Delhi batsmen to open with Yashasvi. Virat Kohli should open, Rohit should bat at number 4 – Matthew Hayden Cricketer-turned-commentator Hayden picked Suryakumar Yadav and Rohit as the No. 3 and No. 4 batsmen respectively. Speaking to Star Sports, Hayden said, “If you have to change that combination, I would be very happy if you tell me if I can open with Kohli and Jaiswal, I would definitely say yes.” He further said, “Then I will keep Suryakumar Yadav at number three and Rohit at number four. And this top four, in my opinion, is the right combination. The reason I say this is that Virat is a master in the first six. And once the power hitting Hayden said, “Coming into the game, there are other great options including Rohit. Look at his statistics at No. 4, they are fantastic.” Yashasvi’s last IPL season was excellent. However, this year he has not been able to showcase his full potential with the bat. In 11 matches, the left-handed batsman has scored just 320 runs at an average of 32 and a strike rate of 157.64. The Rajasthan Royals batsman has only one half-century and one century to his name this season.
“Virat should open… Rohit at number three…”- Former cricketer gave strange advice before the T20 World Cup.

Meanwhile, former Team India cricketer Ajay Jadeja has given a surprising statement. Let us tell you that many veteran cricketers have said that Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma should open the innings in the T20 World Cup, but former cricketer Ajay Jadeja has a different opinion. He believes that in the T20 World Cup, Yashasvi Jaiswal should open the innings with Virat Kohli, while Rohit Sharma should bat at number 3. Rohit Sharma should bat at number three – Ajay Jadeja Ajay Jadeja said on Jio Cinema, ‘According to me Virat Kohli Should open the innings. Who should go down the batting order? Rohit Sharma should come at number three in the batting order. He may get some rest at number three and get help in understanding the game. As a captain, a lot must be going on in his mind simultaneously. If Virat Kohli is in your team, then you know that you will definitely get consistency. He is the best batsman in the top order and will also get time to settle in the powerplay. I have always said that if Virat Kohli is in the team, he should open. Let us tell you that, usually in T20 International, Rohit opens the innings, while Virat Kohli comes to bat at number-3. The Indian team has to play its first match of T-20 World Cup 2024 on June 5. All the matches of India in the league matches are to be played in America.
