India Vs Pakistan T20 World Cup
The time for the mega fight of India and Pakistan is approaching. As part of the T20 World Cup 2024, the fight between these cousins will be held on Sunday (June 9). But it is clear that Virat Kohli will be the opener for this match as well. Although he failed in this position in the first match against Ireland, the team decided to continue Virat.
Kohli as the opener. Pant in the third position
It has always been said that Virat Kohli, who became the highest run-scoring batsman in IPL 2024, will be the opener in the T20 World Cup as well. Accordingly, in the first match against Ireland, he was brought down as an opener along with Rohit. But Kohli failed miserably in this match.
Now the team management has made it clear that there is no such thing amid doubts whether Kohli will be sent back at number three in the crucial match against Pakistan. Batting coach Vikram Rathore revealed that Rohit and Kohli will be the openers in this match as well. Moreover, there are chances of the India entering the ring without any changes for this match.
Rishabh Pant is third
While Kohli opened in the first match, Rishabh Pant, a left-hander, came in his regular position of number 3. Rathore also said on this occasion that Panthe will come third in the entire tournament. In the vamp match against Bangladesh and the first matches against Ireland, Pant was successful in this position.
“Yes, he is batting very well. He has played very well in both the matches he has played. That is why he is our number 3 batsman at the moment. Pant being a left-hander also help”, Rathore clarified. And Rathore praised Hardik who excelled in the match against Ireland.
“Hardik has bowled very well. Hardik is bowling well in the practice match as well as in practice. He looks fit enough to bowl four overs. He is bowling with accuracy and pace. It will come together for us, “Rathore said.
After losing the first match against USA, Pakistan is under a lot of pressure. In this background, a crucial match will be played with the India team. If they lose in this too, that team’s Super 8 chance will be complicated. On the other hand, if they win in this, it is almost certain that the India team will go to the Super 8.
