Matthew Hayden made a big statement Let us tell you that in a discussion on Star Sports’ show Follow the Blues, Matthew Hayden said – Team India looks quite balanced for the T20 World Cup. There are four spinners in the team, which I think is a good planning considering the West Indies. But I am not sure about America. Team India has a batting line-up full of experience and is brilliant. Left-right hand pair at the top in the opening, and then Virat Kohli at number 3. Hayden further said- Rohit Sharma is present with the team as a leader. He has gone through many such tournaments before. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj are strong selections. But I would have liked to see T Natarajan there, because what he has done in the death overs in the IPL is amazing. Overall, Team India is a good team. Hayden further said about the strength of Team India- The Indian team has world class batsmen and they try to do something new. When you look at the Indian team, you think about Suryakumar Yadav, you think about Yashasvi Jaiswal. Rishabh Pant will be the X factor in the T20 World Cup, which is a big bonus for the team.

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…

Samson or Pant? Who will get the first chance in T20 World Cup? Know what Yuvi said
T20 World Cup 2024 will be organized right after the ongoing season of IPL. BCCI had announced Team India’s squad for this mega event a long time ago. India has selected two wicketkeepers (Sanju Samson and Rishabh Pant) in the team for the T20 World Cup. But the question in everyone’s mind right now is who among these two will get the first chance in the playing XI. Rishabh for last many years Pant was seen as MS Dhoni’s successor as wicketkeeper across all formats. But when he retired from cricket in 2022 after a car accident, Samson’s chances increased. The Rajasthan Royals (RR) captain scored an ODI century against South Africa in January and has had a stellar performance in the current IPL season with 504 runs in 14 matches. Now former Team India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has expressed his opinion on this issue. While talking on ICC show, Yuvi advised to use Rishabh Pant as wicketkeeper in T-20 World Cup. He said, “I would like to go with Rishabh. Obviously Sanju is in amazing form, but Rishabh is a left-handed batsman and I think he has tremendous ability to win matches for India, which he has done before. The 2007 World T20 winning cricketer feels that the left-right batting combination makes it difficult for the bowlers. Singh favored the opening pair of Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal, followed by Virat Kohli at No. 3 and Suryakumar Yadav at No. 4 to bat. Yuvi said that only Virat Kohli should play at number three position, while Suryakumar Yadav would be the best choice for number four. Team India will start its campaign against Ireland on June 5 in the T-20 World Cup to be held on the soil of West Indies and America.
