Ishan Kishan and Ruturaj Gaikwad
Reflexes
- The year has been full of experiments in the opening slot
- The starter Ishan Kishan is running out of the India team
- India does not have any backup grand opening in the Asian Cup
Indian Openers: Preparations for the T20 World Cup to be held in October have been made by the Indian cricket team since the beginning of this year. But India’s preparations suffered a major setback at the beginning of the year due to the injury of KL Rahul and the starting job in the Indian cricket team became vacant. After this, as if there was a barrage of auditions for the opening acts in the Indian team. In the last five T20 series, India has tested 7 players as starters. But none of the players could confirm their place in the team with their performance. Now that KL Rahul is fit, he will almost certainly start for India under captain Rohit Sharma.
Ishaan Kishan has the most chances
Ranchi left-handed batsman Ishan Kishan has the most chances among the 7 players tested by India, Ishan Kishan has started for India in 11 matches this year and has scored 359 runs. During this he scored 3 half centuries in which his highest score is 89 runs. But his non-selection in the Asian Cup shows that the coaches were not impressed by his performance.
Suryakumar’s life
If any player has performed well as a starter, then it is Suryakumar Yadav. As a starter, Surya played 4 games and scored 135 runs. In these four innings, he also played a blistering 76 innings. In addition to these, Rishabh Pant also started in 2 matches but was only able to score 27 runs.
How is the performance of other players?
Speaking of the rest of the players, Rituraj Gaikwad, who carved out a place for himself in the team based on IPL performance, had a chance to start for India in 5 matches scoring only 96 runs including half a century. . Sanju Samson, who has been in and out of the team for a long time, also started two innings for India in which he scored 77 runs in the game against Ireland and batted 95 overall in two games. Shreyas Iyer and Deepak Hooda also played the role of starters for each match, with Iyer scoring 64 runs and Deepak scoring 47 runs.
