Virat Kohli new role in Indian Team

After the drastic loss of India in Asia cup 2022 and just the start of the Australia series, the Indian skipper Rohit Sharma addresses the press conference.
Here he answers lots of questions regarding the preparation ahead of the world cup, roles for the particular player, and what could be the starting IX of the team in the t20 world cup.
But one answer from Rohit Sharma came into the limelight concerning Virat Kohli and might be possible in the world cup plans.

Rohit Sharma’s words on Virat Kohli 

In the press conference, a journalist asks a question about Virat Kohli as an opener role in the t20 world cup.
The Indian skipper said, “For us, we understand the quality of all our players and what they bring to the table. But yeah, it is an option for us. Since we don’t have a third opener, he opens for his franchise in the IPL and he has done well, so it is a definite option for us.”

Rohit added in his statement said that Virat Kohli is our third opener and he will open in some of the matches. In the last game of the Asia Cup, we were happy with the way he played. But KL Rahul will open the batting in the t20 World Cup, his performance sometimes goes quite unnoticed.”

Rohit on KL Rahul’s importance and role in the world cup 

“Rahul is a very important player for India. For us, I just want to make it clear, that we are clear in our thought process. We do not have any confusion, we are very clear about what KL Rahul brings to the table for us, he is a quality cricketer and is very crucial for us. His presence at the top is very crucial for us,” Sharma said to Rahul.

Virat Kohli; an opener in the world cup came to mind because of his first t20i hundred against Afghanistan in the Asia cup. He also opened for RCB in the past couple of seasons and did pretty well.

As KL Rahul’s performance gets dropped after the injury and if continues to score with a low strike rate in Australia series.
Then it can be a definite possibility that Virat can open with Rohit in the t20 world cup for India.
