New Delhi. The countdown for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 has started. The 9th edition of the T20 World Cup will start with the match between America and Canada. Team India will play its first match against Ireland on 5 June. Virat Kohli should open for the Indian team in this T20 World Cup. It is not we who are saying this but former Australian cricketer Ricky Ponting.
Ricky Ponting while talking to ICC said, “The selectors have given place to Yashasvi Jaiswal in the team. This clearly means that they are going for a left handed batsman. But I feel that the team management will go for the opening with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Virat Kohli is the first pick of the Indian team for me. he/she can play his/her role in the opening and if a scoring player like Suryakumar Yadav and Rohit Sharma is caught along with him/her, who bat with a high strike rate, then amazing batting will be seen.

Ganguly also supported opening
Sourav Ganguly had earlier said that Virat is really playing amazing. The batting that Virat did last night was worth watching. he/she soon scored 90 runs. You should get him/her open in the T20 World Cup. he/she has shown that he/she should open in the last few innings. India’s squad is very good. There is depth in the batting and the bowling line up also looks fantastic.
Let us tell you that Virat Kohli has scored 708 runs in 14 innings in this season of IPL. During this period, he/she has scored 5 half-centuries. Virat’s average has been more than 60. In this IPL, Kohli has played innings of 21, 77, 83*, 22, 113*, 3, 42, 18, 51, 70*, 42, 92, 27 and 47 runs. Seeing this figure, veterans are advising that Virat should open only in the World Cup.
