According to Wasim Jaffer, Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal should open for the Indian team in the upcoming tournament.
The ICC T20 World Cup 2024 is starting from June 2. The Indian team has also been announced for this important 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

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.
Talking about Rohit Sharma, he batted very well in IPL 2024 but he failed to score big consistently. At present, it can be said that Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma will be seen opening the team in the initial matches of the upcoming tournament. Now it will be very important to see what decision the team management takes regarding the batting lineup.
