What could be Indian T20I eleven is the talking point nowadays. With lots of players getting chance in recent times and the mega season of the Indian Premier League on the way the speculations of what could the opening pair, bowling pair, the middle is the talking point.
Talking about the opening combinations Indian team has the choice of captain Virat Kohli too for the opening position. In the last few years, KL Rahul has been the consistent man for the team in T20Is for the Indian team but he showed poor form when he came into the middle against England.
Later after 4 matches of a poor show, Rahul got dropped from the side and captain Kohli came up with Rohit Sharma to open the innings. But it’s really difficult for Virat and company not to consider Rahul in T20Is as he is still at Rank 2 in the format when it comes to batsmen rankings.
So, it might possible that Virat Kohli could and bat up with Rohit Sharma and Rahul comes to bat at Number 3 for the Indian team. Rohit and Kohli batted superbly together in the last T20I match against England and Virat said that he will also open in the Indian Premier League for his Royal Challengers Bangalore. Rahul came back in form in the ODI series where he scored 62 runs in the first ODI and a hundred in second ODI. So chances of Rahul playing in the middle order at Number 3 are high.
Talking about the backups Ishaan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav have been brilliant on their debut for the Indian team in the T20I series against England but one of them may get a chance as a backup top 3 and middle-order choice.
