IND 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.
