DTVHINDI“Needless to say that he is a great player, but…”- Sourav Ganguly said about Virat
Virat Kohli and Sourav Ganguly (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Former captain Sourav Ganguly believes that if India has to do well in the T20 World Cup, then Virat Kohli will have to bat with freedom like he did for his franchise RCB in the IPL. Kohli was the highest run-scorer in IPL 2024 and he gave a befitting reply to his trolls by showing aggressive play in the middle overs. Ganguly also advised that he should open the innings with captain Rohit Sharma. His strike rate was also the best in his IPL career this season. The RCB star batsman scored 741 runs in 15 matches. His average was 61.75 and strike rate was 154.70. Ganguly has said that if Team India has to do well in the T20 World Cup, then Virat Kohli will have to play with complete freedom. I want Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to open for Team India- Sourav Ganguly During a conversation on RevSportz, Sourav Ganguly said, “I would like Virat and Rohit to open together. I want Virat to bat the same way he did for RCB in the second half of the IPL. He has to bat with freedom. Needless to say, he is a great player, but for India to do well, Virat has to bat with freedom like in the IPL. So my choice would be Virat and Rohit in the top order.” Let us tell you that Team India will start its T20 World Cup campaign from June 5, when the team will play its first match against Ireland. The match between India and Pakistan is to be held on June 9. Ganguly said about the team, “The team has many great players and they are entering the tournament on the basis of some serious T20 cricket in the form of IPL. This will help them in New York. Another thing in their favour will be that their grounds are big and this will help our spinners. You can never rule out India in the World Cup, because there are so many great players in the team.

I think Virat Kohli and…. from the Indian team in T20 World Cup 2024: Wasim Jaffer put forth his opinion about the batting lineup
According to Wasim Jaffer, Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal should open for the Indian team in the upcoming tournament.

Not only this, the players of the Indian team have also started practicing for the upcoming tournament. All the players of the team are in very good form and they would definitely like to win the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 trophy. However, before the start of this important tournament, former Indian batsman Wasim Jaffer has put forward his opinion about the team’s batting lineup. According to Wasim Jaffer, Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal should open the Indian team in the upcoming tournament while Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav should bat at number 3 and number four. According to him, Rohit Sharma plays spin very well and that is why he should play at his new batting position instead of opening. Wasim Jaffer wrote on his official social media account, ‘Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal should open in T20 World Cup 2024. Rohit Sharma plays spin very well and that is why he should bat at number three. Suryakumar Yadav will be the best option for number 4.’ Here is Wasim Jaffer’s tweet: Kohli & Jaiswal should open in the World Cup imo. Rohit & SKY should bat 3&4 depending on the start we get. Rohit plays spin really well so batting at 4 shouldn’t be a concern. #T20WorldCup #INDvPAK #INDvIRE pic.twitter.com/nMgwwaDNXb — Wasim Jaffer (@WasimJaffer14) May 29, 2024 Let us tell you, Virat Kohli opened the team for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League 2024 and won the Orange Cap. Virat Kohli’s performance as an opener has been very good in the IPL. Not only this, Virat Kohli has also opened in T20 cricket for the Indian team in international cricket.

Most of the time he was moving around and not stopping.” “Dinesh Karthik is full of talent, he is a great batsman. There hasn’t been much change between the first time I saw him bat and what I see now. Yes, now he has just developed the quality of generosity and patience.” Kohli also shared a story recalling IPL 2022 when he got out for a duck 3 times in a row. Kohli told that Karthik sat with him and boosted his confidence. “Off the field, I have had some very good and interesting conversations with him. He is an intelligent person, he has a great knowledge about many things, not just cricket. I have thoroughly enjoyed my conversations with him. Even at that stage of 2022 when I did not have a good IPL season, I was really struggling for confidence. Then he sat me down and told me a lot about how he was looking at things that I might not be able to see.” “So, I like his honesty and courage to go up to someone and talk about things that he feels strongly about. And I think that is the most special thing for me when it comes to Dinesh and it is something that I have always remembered about him. That is why we get along so well.”
