Team India's dominance continues in the T20 World Cup 2024. Team India is on top in Group A and has made it to the Super-8 round by winning three consecutive matches. The pitch in New York was definitely difficult but the team managed to score a hat-trick of wins. However, the matches held in New York have left a big question for Team India. The question is whether Virat Kohli should be removed from opening? Should Yashasvi Jaiswal be made to open in his place again? By the way, if this happens, then it can have many disadvantages.

Why is there an uproar over Virat becoming an opener?

First of all, know why there is a ruckus over Virat Kohli opening the innings? Virat Kohli is opening for the first time in the T20 World Cup and he has failed in three consecutive innings. He could score only 1 run against Ireland. Only 4 runs came from his bat against Pakistan and he was dismissed for 0 on the first ball against America. This means that the Virat who used to shower runs in the T20 World Cup has now been able to score only 5 runs in three matches. This is the reason why many cricket experts are now advising him to play at number 3 again.

What will be the loss if Virat steps down from opening?

Now the question is what will be the loss if Virat Kohli is removed from opening? Let us tell you why Team India may have to face the consequences if Virat Kohli's batting number is changed.

Which batsman will you leave out?

If Virat Kohli is dropped now, then who will be dropped from the team? Because if Virat Kohli does not open, then regular opener Yashasvi Jaiswal will have to be included in the playing eleven and then either Shivam Dubey or Ravindra Jadeja may have to be dropped.

What will happen to Rishabh Pant?

Suppose if Virat is removed from opening and made to bat at number 3, then the question is what will happen to Rishabh Pant? In case Virat does not open, Pant will have to be removed from the number 3 position. Currently, he has been given a place in the top order and when Virat returns to number 3, he will have to be kept in the role of finisher at all costs because Suryakumar Yadav will be at number 4.

Will Virat be able to bat fast?

The big reason for making Virat Kohli open the innings was that he slows down a bit in the middle overs. Now if he comes back at number 3, will he be able to play big shots? Overall, the balance of Team India will be completely spoiled. Now it seems difficult for Team India to back out from the decision of making Virat open. It is hoped that Virat will now perform well as an opener so that Team India's performance can be even better.
