“No disrespect” message to Virat Kohli, India great wants star to give up batting position in T20 World Cup

India’s T20 World Cup team will be out in less than a week. For a team that last won the ICC trophy in 2013, the 2024 T20 World Cup is a great opportunity for Rohit Sharma and Co. to end the long drought. Many experts are giving their opinion on how India’s ideal 15-member team should be. There is also 100 percent agreement about two players who should be in the playing eleven – Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah.

Former star spinner of the Indian cricket team, Harbhajan Singh has given an interesting suggestion regarding the batting order of Virat Kohli based on the situation.

“I believe Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma should open for India and Virat Kohli should come in at No. 3,” Harbhajan Singh told Star Sports.

“I would like to see a left-right combination at the top. If 6-7 overs are played, and if we have a player like Shivam Dubey, he can come in at No. 3. Kohli can then come in at 4. We have got horses here. “We have to take a for-the-course approach, and there is no disrespect in that. Kohli is a great player, whether he plays at No. 3 or 4, even if you ask him this question, he will say team comes first.”

Another former India star Navjot Singh Sidhu advised Indian cricket team coach Rahul Dravid and the BCCI selectors to choose three spinners and an equal number of quality fast bowlers.

“My simple advice to Rahul Dravid is that if you want to win this tournament, have specialist bowlers who can take five wickets. The collapse of a team’s character starts from the point of compromise. You have three bowlers in the form of Bishnoi, Kuldeep and Jadeja. Is a spinner.” Who chooses himself. If Mayank Yadav is fit then he should come in this team,” Sidhu said on Star Sports.

“India have a lot of options and they should not compromise and choose players who can bat and bowl a bit. You think of all the World Cup-winning captains, they would have gone for quality bowling options. That’s the secret. If seven batsmen can’t win you the World Cup, even the eighth batsman can’t do anything.
