Virat Kohli Has To Open or Else India’s T20 Team's Moving in the Wrong Direction

The Quint  

Rohit and Virat Need to Open Sharma and Kohli are India’s two best batsmen and they have to open the batting together in this format. If the skipper and his vice-captain don't open, then it's tough to even see them find a place in the format for India. They may continue to feature for their respective IPL franchises, but if they don’t open, at least Kohli does not find a place in the format. He had made all the right noises in March 2021 against England but then, as it often happens, lack of understanding of the format and conservative approach forced Kohli to go back to the number three slot.
