Former Indian cricketer and well-known commentator Aakash Chopra said that Virat should bat at number three because now there is no AB de Villiers in the team. To strengthen the middle order, it is necessary that Virat bats at this number. He said that earlier AB used to handle but now he is not there so Virat will have to bat for a long time.
