Should Virat Kohli open the batting at the 2022 T20 World Cup?

[Saj]

A brilliant century today opening the innings against Afghanistan, his first for nearly 3 years in international cricket.

Do you think he should open the batting for India at the T20 World Cup?

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Definitely.

Kohli and Rohit should open the innings.

Pant at 3
Surya at 4
Rahul 5
Pandya 6
Jaddu 7

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Definitely.

Kohli and Rohit should open the innings.

Pant at 3
Surya at 4
Rahul 5
Pandya 6
Jaddu 7

Pant at 3? And Rahul at 5?

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Yes. Drop kl and pant
Inject Samson and Iyer

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Yes, Kohli should open.
Pant and KL should be kicked out from T20 format.

 

[Mamoon]

Kohli is not a selfish stats padder like Babar and Rizwan. I don’t see him using the seniority card and taking the opening spot from KL Rahul.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Yes. Drop kl and pant
Inject Samson and Iyer

Rahul Tripathi and Padikkal.

 

[PakEngFan]

Kohli is not a selfish stats padder like Babar and Rizwan. I don’t see him using the seniority card and taking the opening spot from KL Rahul.

Someone is hurt after yesterdays game.

 

[docteurmanish]

Him coming back to form and now trying to keep run rate high with sweep shots etc is a danger sign for all teams .
He is suited for top 3 I would play rahul with Rohit only cos rahul has the X factor . He can play better than both these ace batters on a day .

 

[baggy blue]

kohli and rohith needs to be dropped in t20. pick young talents for the world cup.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Please pick Tewatia.
I am pretty sure he will play much better than Hooda

 

[Savak]

Rahul is a bottler. Better for India to open the innings with its two best batters at the top.

 

[introvert]

No. Rahul and Rohit will always be more destructive openers in power play.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Definitely.

Kohli and Rohit should open the innings.

Pant at 3
Surya at 4
Rahul 5
Pandya 6
Jaddu 7

Pant does not fit into the squad. He has not shown anything so far that he can play the shortest format at the highest level.

Order should be

Rohit
Kohli
KL
SKY
Hardik
Samson/DK
Jadeja
Axar
Bishnoi
Arshdeep/Shami
Bumrah

This team will go the distance. They can bat up to No.9 and 5 bowlers are there.
