Meanwhile, the Indian captain was recently asked by former Australian wicketkeeper batsman Adam Gilchrist about the possibility of opening with Kohli. On this the Hitman revealed that he has not met anyone and nothing has been decided on who will do the opening. In a way he claimed that the report is false.

36-year-old Rohit Sharma said, “We have not met yet. We have not decided who will open in the World Cup (him and Kohli opening). In today's era, unless you hear from me, Rahul (Dravid) bhai or Ajit (Agarkar) bhai, everything else is fake.”

This claim was made in the report

According to a report in Dainik Jagran, last week a meeting was held at the BCCI headquarters between head coach Rahul Dravid, chief selector Ajit Agarkar and Rohit, in which there was talk of giving Kohli a chance to open. In such a situation, if Rohit opens with Kohli, then Yashasvi will be wiped out from the team. However, Shubman Gill can join Team India as an alternative opener, but now Rohit Sharma has confirmed and termed these reports as false.

It is noteworthy that the ICC T20 World Cup will be played in June this year, which will be jointly hosted by West Indies and America. Now, the thing to be seen will be that when the Indian team is announced, which players will get a chance in it. The question is also that if not Kohli, then who will open the innings with Rohit.
