T20 World Cup 2024: Captain Rohit Sharma is very tense before India vs Ireland match, will have to take this decision
T20 World Cup 2024: Now Team India’s mission T20 World Cup 2024 will start in a few days. Preparations for this have also started. The Indian team will start its journey by playing a match against Ireland from June 5. However, before this, there will also be a chance to play a warm-up match against Bangladesh, so that the preparations can be tested. Meanwhile, this T20 World Cup will be no less than a challenge for Indian captain Rohit Sharma. He will have to take some big decisions before June 5.
Team India’s first match is against Ireland on 5 June
Before the Indian cricket team takes the field to play the first match of this year’s World Cup against Ireland on June 5, Rohit Sharma will have to decide what will be India’s opening pair. Although only two openers have been selected in the 15-player squad. Captain Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal. Broadly speaking, this should be the opening pair, but for some time now, there have been reports that Virat Kohli can also open the innings.
Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma can also start the innings
Virat Kohli plays at number three for Team India, but he has been an opener in the IPL for the last several years. This year too, he was opening for RCB and scored a lot of runs. Virat Kohli is the highest run-scorer in this year’s IPL. Although his strike rate has been criticized, but the kind of aggressive batting he has done in this IPL has shut the mouths of his critics. That is, there is a high possibility that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will be seen opening the innings. This will mean that Yashasvi Jaiswal will not be able to make it to the playing eleven and Suryakumar Yadav will be able to bat at number three.
Can the pair of Kohli and Jaiswal open?
Meanwhile, some veterans are also saying that Yashasvi Jaiswal should open with Virat Kohli, while on one hand this will give India a fast start, on the other hand, according to the situation, Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav will also be able to bat at number three and four. However, the possibility of this seems very low. If Virat Kohli opens, then Jaiswal will be out. On the other hand, if Jaiswal and Rohit open, then Kohli will come to bat at number three and Suryakumar Yadav at number four.
Team India will have to prepare completely before the second match
India’s first match is against a team that is considered weak, meaning that defeating them will not be a difficult task. Therefore, some experiments can be done in this match, but the second match will be very tough when the Indian and Pakistani teams will face each other on June 9. In this match, even a small mistake can prove costly, so the Indian team and captain Rohit Sharma as well as head coach Rahul Dravid will have a chance to find a winning combination in the first match itself, so that any unpleasant situation can be avoided in the second match. It remains to be seen what the Indian think tank finally decides.
