Harbhajan Singh believes that veteran batsman Virat Kohli should open with Rohit Sharma in the important match of ICC T20 World Cup 2024 to be played against Ireland today i.e. on June 5. According to the former spinner, Yashasvi Jaiswal is very young at this time and he may face a lot of trouble on a difficult pitch.

Let us tell you, the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 has started. The Indian team will play its first match of this great tournament against Ireland on June 5. According to Harbhajan Singh, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma should open for the Indian team in this match. This will completely remove the pressure from the rest of the players of the team.

Harbhajan Singh said on his official YouTube channel, ‘Batting on this pitch is going to be very difficult. You would want your experienced players to bat well here and that is why it is very important for Rohit and Virat to open. The platform that these two players will give you will be very difficult for Yashasvi Jaiswal to achieve in these conditions.’

Indian fast bowlers can prove to be very lethal on New York pitch: Harbhajan Singh

The former Indian spinner further said, ‘When I was in India, I had said that spinners can be seen playing a very important role in this T20 World Cup. However, after coming here I will say that spinners can prove to be very important but fast bowlers can change the match on every ball here. We saw Anrich Nortje’s spell. Even an ordinary bowler can prove to be very lethal here.

We saw this in India’s warm-up match here and then in the Sri Lanka vs South Africa match, the pitch had a lot of bounce due to which the batsmen had a lot of trouble here. Players will have to be a little cautious while playing here. There is a lot of sand on this ground and players can have a lot of trouble here.

India defeated Bangladesh by 60 runs in its warm-up match. In this match, all the players from the Indian team performed very well and played an important role in their team’s victory.
