Not Yashasvi Jaiswal; DC Coach Ricky Ponting Wants Rohit Sharma-Virat Kohli as India’s Openers For T20 World Cup

Mumbai: The T20 World Cup 2024 is less than two weeks away and the buzz is palpable. The buzz is around the Indian team as they are one of the strong contenders to lift the title. But, days ahead of the event, there is speculation over who will open for India. Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting has spoken on who should be the Indian openers at the marquee event. Ponting wants Rohit Sharma to open with Virat Kohli.

“I’m once again backing Virat Kohli to deliver at the T20 World Cup. He’s my first pick for India. Kohli’s quality to stand out in big matches worked in his favour. He remains as relevant to India’s fortunes as before,” Ponting said on ICC.
