When Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli bat first during the T20 World Cup in June in the USA and the West Indies, don’t be shocked. Kohli is apparently eager to open for Rohit in the international competition, according to Ajit Agarkar’s selection Dafabet Mobile India. The prospect of starting Kohli as the opener was reportedly brought up by head coach Rahul Dravid, skipper Rohit, and chief executive Ajit Agarkar at their meeting in Mumbai last week.

The Indian T20 World Cup selection is expected to be unveiled in two weeks, and while there has been much conjecture about Kohli’s position, it seems like all the questions have been answered. By the time Rohit, Dravid, and the selectors convened following the 2018 ODI World Cup, there was considerable uncertainty regarding Kohli’s place in the Twenty20 team. However, a lot has changed during the last few months.

When it came to the home series against Afghanistan, Kohli was available. For the first time in almost two years, he and Rohit were playing Dafabet India. He batted in the two games he played, starting the batting with Rohit and Yashasvi Jaiswal in his preferred position of No. 3. However, that could alter during the T20 World Cup in 2019.

According to the Jagran story, the opening gambit was an answer to Kohli’s query to the selection committee over whether he was eligible for the T20 World Cup.

For the past few Indian Premier League seasons, Kohli has been the starting opener for the Ipl win app. Currently leading the Orange Cap after seven games with 361 runs at a 147 strike rate. He is already one hundred years old.

Not that playing cricket for his nation hasnt been successful for Kohli in the past. He actually began his international career in 2008, opening one-day matches against Sri Lanka. He eventually mastered and occupied the third position. He’s had a respectable T20I opening record. In nine Twenty20 international cricket matches, the former captain of India has amassed 400 runs at an average of 57, surpassing his career average of 51.
