If there is any team that can be divided into every format of the game, then it has to be Team India. While Virat Kohli & Co. are in England for the 5-match Test series, the second-string side is comfortably beating Sri Lanka at their own den. Almost 35-40 players are ready to roar in the blue jersey in the upcoming T20 World Cup. Today, let us take a look at the possible opening combination for the Men in Blue for the tournament:
Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma
When it comes to the opening combination, the first pair that comes to our mind is Dhawan and Rohit. They batted together since the memorable 2013 Champions Trophy and achieved a lot of success. Therefore, it won’t be surprising to see them bat together once again.
Rohit Sharma and Prithvi Shaw
Though they haven’t batted together so far, there is a slight possibility that these two can start the innings, keeping in mind the current form of Shaw. The Mumbaikar has been brilliant in the recent ODI series against Sri Lanka. If he could make the cut, he won’t bat anywhere else apart from opening the innings.
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli
Fans were surprised to see both of them batted together against England in the T20I series. These two can change the scenario of the game from anywhere by being two of the best in the world.
Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan
The second-string side of India saw these two commencing the innings and it turned out to be a huge hit. So, if Rohit Sharma is not playing in any case, then these two can open the innings with Kohli coming at number three.
