Parthiv Patel, a former Indian cricketkeeper, would like Virat Kohli to open the game with Rohit Sharma. From June 1 they will do so for the 2024 T20 World Cup, to be held in the USA and West Indies. “With Kohli’s form, I want him to open the batting with Rohit Sharma in the T20 World Cup. They can end our 17-year drought and bring us glory,” Parthiv Patel told IANS at the launch of the inaugural competition. edition of Legends Intercontinental T-20 League.

inator 1 on Wednesday.The Indian squad includes four spinners: Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, and Axar Patel. They’ve got three pacers and two allrounders. After July 2023, Chaha returns to the Indian squad and is in a hot streak.
So far, the spin wizard has taken 18 wickets in the IPL. In addition, he has become the first Indian Premier League spinner to score 200 wickets. Co-hosting the West Indies tournament, Parthiv opined that India should field Kuldeep, Jade and Chahal in the playing XI.
Conditions are good for spinners. This is especially true for the West Indies. The pitch in the US will support spinners when the ball is 4 to 5. So I think going with four spin options is a very good decision until and unless that happens. I am very confident about Chahal’s comeback. I feel this way because of the way he has bowled. And, Kuldeep has always been amazing,” he added.
When asked who he wants as the wicketkeeper, Parthiv said, “Without a doubt, Sanju Samson should be India’s top wicketkeeper.” Samson led the team both with the bat and as captain. India should take advantage of that.”
