Rohit Sharma: The Indian cricket team will play the last match of the league stage against Canada on June 15 at the Regional Park Cricket Stadium in Florida. The team's performance has been excellent in the 3 matches played so far. The team has qualified for the Super 8 by topping the table in Group A.

However, the biggest question arises whether Virat Kohli will play the role of opening batsman in this match, who has batted poorly in the 3 matches played so far. In such a situation, Rohit will give a chance to Sanju Samson or Yashasvi Jaiswal along with him.

Virat Kohli may be cut from his position

  • The Indian team has performed brilliantly and won all the 3 matches played so far.
    However, Virat Kohli's form has been a matter of concern.
  • He played the role of an opening batsman with Rohit Sharma in all three matches. But he could not do much. In the first match against Ireland, he was out after scoring 1 run.
  • Whereas he scored 4 runs against Pakistan and 1 run in the last match against USA. In such a situation, Virat Kohli can be removed from the role of opening batsman and put in the middle order.

Who has the upper hand, Sanju or Jaiswal?

  • It is believed that Rohit Sharma can trust Yashasvi Jaiswal in the match against Canada in T20 World Cup 2024.
  • However, Sanju Samson's name is also quite ahead in this race.
    But when he was given the role of opening batsman against Bangladesh in the practice match, he batted poorly and returned to the pavilion after scoring 1 run. In such a situation, Hitman can trust young Yashasvi.

How has been the performance of both?

  • Sanju and Jaiswal have batted brilliantly in IPL 2024.
    Jaiswal has scored 435 runs in 15 matches played at an average of 31.07.
  • During this period, he scored 1 century and 1 half-century. Sanju scored 531 runs in 15 matches at an average of 48.27. During this period, 5 half-centuries came from his bat.
