New Delhi. The T20 World Cup has started. India will play its first match against Ireland on June 5. The Indian team has also reached America for this. Team India is fully prepared for this. What will be the playing eleven of the Indian team in the first match? This is not known yet. What will be the opening combination? This is also not decided. Meanwhile, former Australian cricketer Matthew Hayden has said that either make Virat Kohli open or don't play him.
Matthew Hayden said on ESPN, “You have to go with a left-right combination. You can't have five right-handers together. Australia will definitely play Adam Zampa. You should open Kohli or not play him. He is in really great form. Rohit Sharma is an experienced player and I don't think he will be ashamed to bat in the middle order. He has a great record in T20 international cricket. He can bat at No. 4. He can come in the middle order and take the responsibility of batting.”
Sourav Ganguly also advised him to open
Sourav Ganguly had told PTI during the IPL that Virat is playing really well. The way Virat batted last night was worth watching. He scored 90 runs very fast. You should make him open in the T20 World Cup. He should open and he has shown this in the last few innings. India's team is very good. There is depth in batting and bowling is also looking great.
