Rohit Sharma will lead Team India in their last T20I assignment against Afghanistan. Unfortunately, two of the main players, Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav, will not be playing due to injury. Rohit Sharma has put forward Yashasvi Jaiswal as the best opener option. Currently, the possibility of Jaiswal coming as an opener is being said to be high. Next, we will discuss Who Should be Rohit Sharma’s Opening Partner.
The team is yet to announce the three players who will be batting alongside Rohit Sharma. The options on the table are Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Virat Kohli.
India’s home series against Afghanistan is scheduled to start on 11 January 2024. The first match of the series will be played between India vs Afghanistan on 11 January 2924 at 7:00 PM at Punjab Cricket Association Stadium.
It is uncertain who will be Rohit Sharma’s opening partner in the upcoming home series against Afghanistan for Team India. Although Virat Kohli has opened in the past, it remains unclear who will fill the role. With Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya absent, Kohli may bat at number three.
The potential opening partner for Rohit Sharma in the upcoming matches is Jaiswal. Virat Kohli is set to bat at number three, followed by Suryakumar Yadav at four. Tilak Verma is expected to take the place of the player who is currently out at number five, with Rinku Singh to follow at number 6th. Washington Sundar or Shivam Dubey will take the number 7th spot, followed by Kuldeep Yadav at eight, Ravi Bishnoi at 9th, Arshdeep Singh at 10th, and Mukesh Kumar at 11th.
