Former India captain Sourav Ganguly says Virat Kohli can play the turbo-charge knocks like Travis Head and the IPL 2024 Orange Cap holder must open with Rohit Sharma for India in the T20 World Cup.

Virat Kohli has got the capability of scoring a 40-ball century,” Ganguly opind while speaking to The Indian Express.“And in my personal opinion, Rohit and Virat should open for India in the T20 World Cup,” he added.

But at the same time, Ganguly said the need of the hour in T-20 cricket is to play fearless cricket and Virat should take a cue from Rohit Sharma’s batting in the ODI World Cup and must go all out from ball one.

“It is not a drastic change. They have the talent to do it. You saw how Rohit batted in the 50-over World Cup. He just came and hit at the top. That’s why we were such a good side. He just put so much pressure on the opposition in the first 7-8 overs that it gave breathing space for the middle order. I think Virat and Rohit should do the same. They are great players,” said Ganguly.

Ganguly is also confident that Pant will be part of India’s 15-member squad but says it will be interesting to see where he will bat. 

Ganguly, who is also the mentor of Delhi Capitals suggests the changes Rishabh Pant must make to be a better T-20 batsman.
