What should be India’s opening combination in T20 World Cup 2024?
Rohit and Virat have opened the innings only once in T20I cricket, that too against England in Ahmedabad in 2021 India’s opening combination in T20 World Cup 2024 The T20 World Cup 2024 has started in a grand manner. The Indian team has also geared up for its first match. Team India will start its campaign against Ireland on June 5. However, with which opening combination will the Men in Blue take the field and this debate has remained since the announcement of the team. Captain Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal are specialist openers. There is no backup opener in the team, but Shubman Gill has been included in the Indian team as a reserve player. At the same time, Virat Kohli can open, as he has opened for RCB and India. Plan A: Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal should open? Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal should open in the T20 World Cup, as both have opened the innings for Team India before. Rohit Sharma is in form and batted well for Mumbai Indians in the recently concluded IPL 2024. He scored 417 runs at an average of 32.08 and a strike rate of 150 while opening in 14 matches. Yashasvi Jaiswal impressed everyone with his performance in IPL last year. After this he represented India in Test and T20I. In the IPL 2024 season, he scored 435 runs in 15 matches at an average of 31 and a strike rate of 155.91. Plan B: Let Ro-Ko open the innings for India? Virat Kohli is in tremendous form at the moment. He scored 741 runs in IPL 2024 and won the Orange Cap. During this, his average is 61.75 and strike rate is 154.70. He scored five half-centuries and one century while opening for RCB. Rohit is also in good form. Let us tell you that Rohit and Virat have opened the innings only once in T20I cricket, that too against England in Ahmedabad in 2021. During this, both of them made a partnership of 94 runs in just 9 overs. Both scored half-centuries. However, unfortunately since then both of them have not opened together. In this way, if India starts the innings with Rohit and Yashasvi, they will get a left-right combination. Apart from this, if India wants to take advantage of Kohli’s form, then he can be given a chance along with Rohit.

Tomorrow on June 1, it will play a practice match against Bangladesh, which will be the last chance to get accustomed to the conditions. Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Suresh Raina has made a big statement about Shivam Dube. Raina believes that Shivam Dubey will be the X-factor for India during the T20 World Cup 2024. He feels that based on Dubey’s brilliant batting during India’s T20I series against Afghanistan in January and then in IPL 2024, he should be included in India’s playing XI. Let us tell you that Shivam Dube performed brilliantly with the bat in the series against Afghanistan. He scored 126 runs in two innings and also took two wickets. For which he was also selected as the Player of the Series. His all-round performance played an important role in India’s series win. He can make a big difference – Suresh Raina Dubey continued his form in IPL 2024. He scored 396 runs in 14 matches while representing Chennai Super Kings. Due to his consistent performance, he has been included in India’s T20 World Cup 2024 squad. Speaking at the launch ceremony of the World Championship of League, Raina explained how Dubey can make a big difference with his aggressive batting. Raina said, he has to play in the World Cup. Look, the ability to stand still while hitting big sixes is very rare. Shivam Dubey can be the X-factor in India winning the World Cup. So Rohit will have to take a decision whether he wants to play Virat (Kohli) at the top, Yashasvi is also batting in a different way, if the situation comes, Shivam can also bowl for the team. Players like Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja and Rishabh Pant are also India’s big-hitting batsmen in the World Cup. Now it will be interesting to see how Dubey is finally used in the playing XI.

‘We should have 6 to 8 retentions’, Harsha Bhogle said a big thing on the matter of retention of players in IPL
Commentator Harsha Bhogle has given his opinion on IPL retention Harsha Bhogle. (Photo Source: Twitter) The 17th edition of the Indian Premier League recently ended, where Kolkata Knight Riders won the title for the third time. The Shreyas Iyer-led team won the trophy by defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad in the final. This season has just ended and the franchises have started preparing for the 18th edition of the tournament. Let us tell you that the first mega auction of IPL 2025 will be organized, in which each team will be allowed to retain limited players. The remaining players will have to come into the auction pool. Now famous commentator Harsha Bhogle has given his opinion on this issue. He believes that teams should be given the option to retain six to eight players instead of four. Apart from this, he asked the team to retain the stars they have discovered. Know what Harsha Bhogle said Harsha Bhogle said in a video on his YouTube channel, If we can maintain the sanctity of the purse then I think we should have six to eight retentions. KKR’s Venky Mysore has come up with a very practical suggestion, which is that you should be allowed to retain players if they have a fair market value, otherwise no retention but eight right-to-match cards. I know this will change the dynamics of the auction drastically, but it is something worth considering. At the same time, after the end of IPL 2024, Harsha Bhogle recently revealed his best playing XI. With four foreign players in the team, he picked Virat Kohli, Sunil Narayan, Sanju Samson and many other stars in his best XI. Bhogle’s Best XI Virat Kohli, Sunil Narine, Sanju Samson, Riyan Parag, Nicholas Pooran, Andre Russell, Dinesh Karthik, Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakravarthy, Trent Boult, T Natarajan.
