Former India captain Sourav Ganguly said the Indian team management should make Kohli open in the upcoming T20 World Cup to exploit the star batter’s rich vein of form in the ongoing IPL.

The former great will potentially pave the way for a fresh perspective and a new era in Indian cricket.

Anil Kumble is hopeful that star batsman Kohli will continue his prime IPL form in the upcoming T20 World Cup as well.

Considering that the marquee event in USA and West Indies could be the last for some of India’s biggest stars such as Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, the pressure to bring home the silverware will be on the squad when the tournament starts on June 1.

West Indian leged Brian Lara feels that Surya should bat higher up in the order than he regularly does for India in order to make him bat for 10 to 15 overs.

The Rajasthan Royals star admitted that he wasn't considering himself to be a serious part of that race.

The leg spinner broke the door open for the Indian team by bowling brilliantly for his franchise Rajasthan Royals in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL).

Jadeja has advised that Kohli should open not alongside Rohit but Jaiswal and the Indian captain should bat at no.3 spot.

As per Rohit, Dube was selected to give impetus to India's middle order with his power hitting.

For the T20 World Cup 2024, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma insisted on a specific blend of four spinners despite playing in the USA and Caribbean, regions known for pacer-friendly pitches. The squad includes experienced spinners and pacers, with Hardik Pandya also discussed as an all-rounder despite recent concerns over his form.

Former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan recently took a dig at the selectors for prioritising the selection of the MI skipper.

The former aggressive batter pointed out Shubman Gill’s (who is in the reserve players list) poor form and also accused the selection committee of ‘favoritism’.

As per Gill, the selectors should not overlook him despite a recent dip in form during the current season.

As per the former great, Hardik Pandya should be included in the Indian team for the marquee event irrespective of his form.

Reports published in some sections of media suggest that there is no like-for-like replacement for Hardik.
