Irfan Pathan: Irfan Pathan has named Rohit and Jaiswal as India’s opening batsmen for the upcoming T20 World Cup series.
The Indian players who are playing well in this IPL series are playing frantically to get a place in the Indian team for the upcoming T20 World Cup. In this case, former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan has suggested that Rohit Sharma and Jaiswal should be fielded as openers in the Indian team.
Talking about this, he said, “As far as I am concerned, I would recommend Yashvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma as the opening players of the Indian team. The reason is because the impact of right-handed and left-handed batsmen should be at the start. Also, another thing if Jaiswal plays for the Indian team.
You can even have him as a sixth bowler in the team. Otherwise, if you look at the batting order in the team, nobody will bowl. If you look at the top 6 batsmen nobody bowls except Jaiswal. That will be our biggest challenge for the Indian cricket team. That is what we have to consider.
So for me, Yashaswi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma should be the opener and Kohli should continue to field them. That will be a strong side for the Indian team”, said Irfan Pathan at the Star Sports Press Room Show.
