With the T20 World Cup squad for India set to be announced soon, the issue of who will make the final cut has been on everyone's mind. Only a few stars, such as skipper Rohit Sharma, star batter Virat Kohli, and ace bowler Jasprit Bumrah, have been unanimously regarded as the confirmed selected players.
But, in the midst of it all, the veteran Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh gave a new remark by making a new suggestion for the Indian team, claiming that Kohli, for all his talent, must be willing to sacrifice his spot in the batting order for the sake of the team.
I believe Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma should open for India, and Virat Kohli should come at no.3. ~Harbhajan Singh stated on Star Sports
I would like to see a left-right combination at the top. If 6-7 overs are played, and if we have a player like Shivam Dube, he can walk in at no.3. Kohli can then walk in at 4. We have to take the horses-for-courses approach here, and there’s no disrespect in that. Kohli is a great player, whether he plays at no.3 or 4, the team comes first. Even if you ask him this question, he will say the team comes first.
Shivam Dube has undoubtedly made his mark for CSK this season, as one of their most consistent batters, coming in to deliver a burst of runs in the middle overs with his characteristic measured aggressiveness.
This is demonstrated by his figures, which speak for himself, the hard-hitting middle-order batter has already scored 311 runs in just 8 games, with an average of 51.82 and an exceptional strike rate of 169.95, demonstrating why he can be a bag of energy in a batting lineup.
Kohli, on the other side, has continued to demonstrate his class and expertise, as he leads the Orange Cap standings with 430 runs in 9 matches for an unfortunate RCB squad that is currently dead last in the IPL rankings.
