ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 is not far off and Team India is leaving no stone unturned to make the most out of the prestigious event. In front of the World Cup, India will be playing in the Asia Cup 2022, where they will play against Pakistan in a Group A fixture on August 28 in Dubai. In Asia Cup, Team India would looking forward to give Virat Kohli, an opportunity to redeem himself and former India cricketer Parthiv Patel feels that the star batter could open along with Rohit Sharma.
“There is no doubt about Virat Kohli’s abilities. It is just about the form and about which position you want him to play. That is why Asia Cup becomes very crucial, not only for him but for India’s point of view also, whether they get the right combination or not. I will keep saying about the combination because that would be the key,” said Parthiv on Cricbuzz.
“You might even see Virat Kohli opening in the Asia Cup as KL Rahul is not fit. They said he will be available from Asia Cup and India have tried so many other openers. Virat Kohli has been comfortable opening with RCB. He has got all those big seasons, where he came as an opener,” he added.
The discussion on Virat Kohli’s continued after he failed to register big scores in the T20Is or ODIs vs England. He was rested from the ODIs vs West Indies that followed and isn’t in the squad for the T20Is either.
