Former Indian cricketer Rogan Gavaskar has said that Virat Kohli will be the best option to open the field in T20 matches. For that, KL Rahul has said that he has to sacrifice his place as an opener.
“I think Virat Kohli will be the best option to open the field. His average and strike rate etc clearly describe it. I remember him saying he wanted to be the opener. It will also help the Indian team.
Similarly, Suryakumar Yadav should enter the field as the third batsman. For this to happen, Rahul has to sacrifice his place. It doesn’t matter who Kohli scored his century against. We only need to note that he has registered an international century. He has returned to form as a run machine and it will be good for the team,” he said.
Virat Kohli has played a total of 104 T20 matches. A total of 96 innings. He has played 9 innings as an opener. He has registered two fifties and a century with it. He has scored a total of 400 runs. Strike rate 161.29. Average 57.14.
Indian cricket team is going to play T20 series against Australia and South Africa. After that it will be played in the T20 World Cup.
