Abundant of openers for England tour, number 4 will be chosen only
Highlights
- Sehwag suggested Rishabh Pant to play at number 4.
- The Indian team is full of openers on the tour of England.
- Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal can open.
New Delhi. England’s circumstances, red Duke ball, and green pitch have always been a big challenge for Indian batsmen. The biggest batsman has been seen struggling in England. This is the reason that when the Indian team armed with stars had to face his mouth when he went to play in English condition. Now the question arises that when the specialist number 3-4 batsmen of the Indian team used to win only three series in England, this time, this time one of the openers has to adjust to 3 and someone has to adjust to 4, so what will happen to the team.
It can always be difficult to play at number four in England, now because Virat Kohli has recently retired from Tests and India has no prepared option for that place. The Indian team has already been announced for the England series and after Virat Kohli’s retirement, the question has become big as to who should be at number four for the tour? There are already some options, but the problem for the team is that there are many openers, which will play on different positions.
How many contenders at number four?
In Test cricket, we had got used to seeing Sachin Tendulkar and then Virat Kohli. Batting revolves around number 4 in Test cricket, so the best batsman of the team plays on this number. Now the problem of the Indian team is that Yashasvi Jaiswal, then captain Shubman Gill, KL Rahul and even Abhimanyu Ishwar and Sai Sudarshan are all openers. In such a situation, the talk of former India opener Virender Sehwag can be noted. Sehwag said, “Look, first there are a lot of openers. Shubman Gill Open, Open Yashasvi Jaiswal, Open Sai Sudarshan, KL Rahul opens. Abhimanyu is also a chance, although he may not get a chance in the playing XI. But Gill, Jaiswal, Sudarshan and KL Rahul have the ability to make a place in these four. Playing in the order, he should be fed at number 4. If Sehwag believes, Rishabh Pant is most suitable for number 4.
Whose scene at number 3?
The batsmen who are in the team for England tour will be used as all floater, this is clear. Shubman Gill is the captain, he will definitely play. So we already have three openers. Sai Sudarshan is in a spectacular form, so the captain would definitely like to give him a chance. Sehwag suggested that if Gill and Jaiswal opening, Sudarshan should bat at number three and Rishabh Pant should come at number four. Sehwag said, England who will play at number four in the series and score runs, he will probably secure that place for the future. By the way, as if the source, Shubman Gill and Yashasvi can open Jaiswal, while Sai Sudarshan can be seen batting at number three, Rishabh Pant can be launched at number four and KL Rahul Rahul and Nitish Reddy at number 6. It is clear that who will play in the batting order except the opening department, it will be decided after the practice match in England, but it is certain that the top 6 batsmen will be here and the middle order specialist will sit outside in the first two matches.
