Aakash Chopra Confident: Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to Open for India in T20 World Cup Match Against Ireland
Former India opener Aakash Chopra recently reckoned that India might go in with two senior statesmen, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, as openers in their first match of the World Cup against Ireland. In a video on his YouTube channel, he analyzed reasons behind the decision, saying:
“You will see Rohit and Kohli opening on the 5th vs Ireland. I am quite confident of that because the team wants something else. If Yashasvi opens, Dube and Hardik cannot play together and there could be a slight problem that who would finish. So the first takeaway was Rohit and Kohli to open, which, in my opinion, is a good thing.”

He also said that Virat and Rohit’s expertise may help India deal with Ireland’s swing bowling danger. Aakash Chopra continued:
“It seems like the new ball was moving decently here because a lot of grass is left at the start on drop-in pitches. So when you have Mark Adair and Joshua Little, their fast bowling is decent if the conditions are favorable to them, you will need slightly technically correct and compact batting at the start. So Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli might be opening.”
