The injury of a strong player gave India two tensions, who will sacrifice Rohit or Shubman?

New Delhi. India’s World Cup preparations will begin with their Asia Cup opener against Pakistan. However, Team India will go into this important Test without one of their strongest players. KL Rahul will not be able to play against Pakistan due to injury. In such a situation, Ishan Kishan is certain to play as a wicket keeper batsman. The good thing for India is that Jasprit Bumrah and Shreyas Iyer are fit and both will surely play. With Shreyas Iyer and Ishan in the team, there is no room for Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Verma in the middle order.

KL Rahul’s absence has created two major problems for Team India. Ishan Kishan will have to play first as he is the only wicketkeeper batsman in the team after KL Rahul. Another is that Kishan can only play in the top 3. This will create confusion for Team India as to who will open? However, Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan have opened on several occasions in ODIs and the pair have performed well. But if Ishan opens then who will bat under Rohit or Shubman. Will Rohit bat at number three or four? This is a big question for Indian team management.

Who will open against Pakistan?
At Team India’s camp in Bengaluru for the Asia Cup, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill both batted at No.3 and No.4. So, it seems that Ishan Kishan can open and this is a possibility. India need a left-handed batsman in the top order to face Shaheen Afridi’s new ball. If the opener has a left and right arm combination, it will be challenging for Shaheen Afridi to bowl with a straight line and length. Looking at the current situation, Rohit Sharma can be played in the middle order.

Who will become India’s number-4 batsman?
Shreyas Iyer will bat at number four for Team India when KL Rahul returns to the team. But in Rahul’s absence, Iyer may bat at number five and Virat Kohli may play at number four for the opening matches. However, Team India can also bet on Rohit Sharma and send him in to bat in the middle overs. Rohit can bat at number 5 and Shreyas Iyer at number 4. Hence, Suryakumar Yadav’s place in the playing-11 does not seem to be possible.

Rinku Singh hits sixes again, hitting 3 consecutive sixes in the super over and snatching victory from the jaws of defeat.

It is also possible that Ishan Kishan will bat at number 5 in place of KL Rahul. In such a situation, Kohli will bat at number three and Shreyas Iyer at number four. Now it remains to be seen how the batting order of Team India will be in the actual Test.

Possible Match of India vs Pakistan: Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammad Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Shami.
