'He has been prolific; warrants a place in Playing XI': Duminy picks Rohit's opening partner for India at 2023 World Cup

Hindustan Times  

The 2023 World Cup is still less than a year away but teams are already planning what their perfect XI is going to be. Having said that, former South Africa batter JP Duminy knows his pick to partner Rohit, Duminy feels that the competition is stiff for the position, he would go with Shikhar Dhawan, due to his solid record and consistency in ODIs. And I think it's an obvious one in Rohit Sharma," Duminy told Cricket.com In the last three years, Dhawan has been in great nick in the 50-over format, scoring 1194 runs in 28 matches at a healthy average of 49.75 including two centuries and nine fifties. Bases on such impressive numbers, Duminy has no doubt that the Dhawan-Rohit pair will open for India at next year's World Cup and expects the left-handed batter to score heavily for India.
