Rohit Sharma and Co. are all set to kick off play in the forthcoming T20 World Cup 2024 as they take on Ireland in a Group A match on June 5 in New York. The Men in Blue have every intention to defeat the Irish challenge after defeating Bangladesh convincingly in their only warm-up match ahead of the main World Cup event.
Meanwhile, it’s thrilling to see how the Indian squad creates their opening combination, as it has a lot of talent. In the same vein, here are the three players who can be Rohit Sharma’s opening partner in the India vs. Ireland T20 World Cup 2024 match.
1. Yashasvi Jaiswal
India’s star cricketer, Yashasvi Jaiswal, will be in the top spot and can open the innings alongside Rohit Sharma. The star cricketer was last seen in magnificent form in the IPL 2024 and played the crucial knock in the Qualifier 2 against SRH, which almost gave them the big threat.
The left-handed batter can easily smash the bowlers in the game against Ireland and can single-handedly guide the side to the win.
2. Virat Kohli
India’s swashbuckling batter Virat Kohli is in the second spot, and he can open the innings alongside the skipper. Notably, Kohli has been the opening batter for the RCB camp over the years and has achieved great success while batting in the opening position.
The stylish right-handed batter was the Orange Cap winner while batting in the top position in the recently concluded IPL 2024. The 36-year-old cricketer also possesses the equal chance to bat at the top of the order and can single-handedly destroy Ireland’s bowler in the next game.
3. Sanju Samson
Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson also has a great chance to open the innings along with Rohit Sharma in their opening game of the marquee event. Samson was the top-order batter in the IPL 2024 and played a crucial role in guiding his team to the playoffs in the IPL 2024.
Notably, the Kerala-born star has a strong chance to be India’s opener in the clash against Ireland and can single-handedly destroy the bowlers.
