Virat Kohli will open with Rohit Sharma! Sourav Ganguly gave advice before T20 World Cup

T20 World Cup 2024: Former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly said that the Indian team management should reveal the form of Virat Kohli in the T20 World Cup to be held next month. Virat Kohli is in great form in IPL 2024 and is the highest run-scorer. In the current season, Royal Challengers Bangalore opener Virat Kohli has scored 634 runs in 12 matches at an excellent strike rate of 153.51 at an average of 70.44 and this strike rate is much higher than his career strike rate of 134.31. Kohli also has an orange cap.

Sourav Ganguly said, 'Virat Kohli is playing very well. Kohli scored a quick 90 runs in the innings he played in the last match, you should use him as an opening batsman in the T20 World Cup. If you look at his last few IPL innings, he has been amazing so he should open the innings.

Ganguly said, 'This is a very good team. I think he has chosen the best team. Apart from being excellent in batting, bowling is also looking good. Bumrah is the best bowler in the world at present. We have the experience of Kuldeep, Akshar and Siraj. This time the team combination is ideal.

Ganguly said, 'This currency will continue in the coming years also. T20 has now become a game of power and it was bound to happen. I was reading Sanju Samson's response where he said that laziness has no place in modern T20. You just have to hit and it will be like that. Now we are continuously seeing scores of 240,250 runs in IPL. The main reason for this is that the pitch is good for batting and the Indian grounds are not that big. In the last match, Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals had hit 26 sixes in the 40 over match.

Ganguly said, players are now playing T20 in the same way. The impact player rule has also added another aspect to it under which each team can field one batsman.
