Sourav Ganguly feels Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma should open for India in T20 World Cup 2024

In the 2024 ICC T20 World Cup, which is set to take place in the USA and the West Indies starting on June 2, former India captain Saurav Ganguly supports Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to begin the batting for India. He highlights the incredible form both players showed for their respective teams in the IPL 2024 as the tournament’s roster selection gets closer.

Ganguly declared that Rohit and Kohli are set to start in the June T20 World Cup. The 51-year-old personally thinks that the pair will be crucial in the top order, but he also emphasizes how important it is for selectors to make informed decisions. The former president of BCCI also supported Rohit in leading the team.

“Rohit Sharma and Viral Kohli will undoubtedly travel to the USA and the West Indies. The decision of who should open for them is up to the selectors, but in my opinion, both Virat and Rohit should lead off for India in the T20 World Cup, according to an India Today comment from Ganguly

“It goes without saying that Rohit should lead the team in the T20I World Cup. Virat Kohli ought to be present as well. Nothing will happen to Virat Kohli (to return after 14 months),” he continued. “He is a tremendous player.”

With incredible form in the IPL 2024, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma flourish.

Personally, Kohli and Sharma are having a successful IPL 2024 season. Leading the Orange Cap standings with an outstanding total of 379 runs from 8 matches is Kohli, who plays for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). The former captain of the Royal Cricket Club has amassed a century and two fifties to date, and he has an incredible average of 63.16 and a remarkable rate of 150.39.

With the Mumbai Indians, Rohit, on the other hand, has amassed 303 runs at an average of 43.28 from 8 games. The 36-year-old still has one century on his career run total.
