Where should Virat Kohli bat?
After a strong performance in the IPL, there is a discussion on where Kohli should bat. Opening or number-3, which he has been batting at. De Villiers, who played for a long time for RCB, said that Kohli did well in opening but Kohli should remain at number-3. De Villiers said in an online press meet organized by Jio Cinema, “I know Virat himself is enjoying opening, it is a good thing. You should respect the decision of a person who has been playing for so many years. But I think he is a number-3 batsman and he is more effective there.” He said, “I think there is a lot of risk in the first few overs and it is strange to ask Virat to hit from the beginning. I just want Virat to bat from 4 to 16-17 overs.”
What will you do for the opening?
If we look at the Indian team selected for the T20 World Cup, there are only two specialist openers in it, Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal. Kohli is being considered as the third opener. Many veterans believe that Kohli should open as this will give depth to the team’s batting and the team will get a chance to play more finishers.
