Wasim Jaffer Recommends Kohli and Jaiswal as Openers for T20 WC

Former India cricketer Wasim Jaffer has suggested that Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal should open for the Men in Blue in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024.

The ICC T20 World Cup will be held in the West Indies and the USA from June 1 to 29. Team India will also play a warm-up game against Bangladesh on June 1 at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.

Jaffer shared his thoughts on his official X account, recommending that Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav should bat in the third and fourth positions. He praised Rohit’s ability to handle spin effectively, stating, “Kohli & Jaiswal should open in the World Cup IMO (in my opinion). Rohit & SKY should bat 3 and 4 depending on the start we get. Rohit plays spin really well so batting at 4 shouldn’t be a concern,” Jaffer wrote on X.

India will begin their T20 World Cup campaign on June 5 against Ireland at the newly constructed Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. The highly anticipated clash between India and Pakistan is scheduled for June 9. Team India will then face co-hosts USA on June 12 and Canada on June 15 to complete their Group A matches.
