Actually, in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, Rohit did well while opening the innings but after that his bat did not work in the second half of the tournament. On the other hand, veteran batsman Virat Kohli scored a lot of runs while opening this season and also won the Orange Cap. Seeing his brilliant performance, people are advising Kohli to open the innings for India in the World Cup. Former India opener Wasim Jaffer has also joined in this episode and he took the help of social media platform X to give his advice.
He wrote, “Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli should open the innings in the World Cup. Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav should come to bat at number three and four. However, the position of these two players depends on India's start. Rohit plays spin well and there is no problem for him in doing so.”
Let us tell you that Kohli performed brilliantly as an opener in IPL 2024 and he scored more than 700 runs. During this, the strike rate of the right-handed batsman has also been more than 150. In such a situation, seeing his excellent performance, cricket experts are advising him to open. On the other hand, the pitches in West Indies and USA will help the spinners, due to which Rohit is also being advised to play in the middle order because Sharma plays spinners better than Kohli.
