Disgruntled with India’s exit in the league stage of the last T20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates last year, the management of the Indian team is currently strengthening the Indian team for the upcoming T20 World Cup in Australia. In that way, under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, while many young players are being given a chance and the team is being built strong, the continuous injury to the Indian team’s opener KL Rahul has caused great sadness and disappointment among the team’s management.
Rahul has missed several series due to a series of injuries since the recently concluded IPL series. As a result, there have been many changes in the opening batsmen position of the Indian team. In that way, many players like Ishan Kishan, Ruduraj Gaekwad, Deepak Hooda, Sanju Samson, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant were tested as starters. In this case, Rahul, who has recovered from his injury, has taken the place of the opener.

In this case, various former players are expressing their opinions about which player should play as the opener in the Indian team in the upcoming Asia Cup and T20 World Cup. In that way, Jayawardene, the former player of the Sri Lankan team, has now shared some opinions about the place of the opener of the Indian team. He said: Many young players are playing well in the Indian team, so many changes are taking place in the team.
Although all the players in the Indian team are playing well, a place for a starter is essential. That being said, I think Rishabh Pant would do better as an opener with Rohit, even if multiple players are used in that position. Because Rishabh Pant has not played much as an opener in domestic matches.

However, he has all the credentials to be an opener in international cricket. Rishabh Pant is a natural player who can play in any situation with the same dynamic. So Rishabh Pant is definitely the right choice for the opener if the Indian team needs a quick start.
