Team India: Not KL Rahul but this player should open in T20, Dinesh Karthik told the reason, know

After the defeat of Team India in the T20 World Cup, India’s openers are being criticized a lot. The Indian openers have been in poor form throughout the tournament. The pair of Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul could not do anything special. Rohit scored 116 runs in six matches and Rahul scored 128 runs in six matches in the World Cup. Since then, there has been a demand to remove both of them from the opening in T20. Fans are demanding to give chance to young players in T20 format.

Dinesh Karthik has said that Pant should be given a chance to open in T20 format.

Meanwhile, Dinesh Karthik has said a big thing about Rishabh Pant. Dinesh Karthik has said that Pant should be given a chance to open in the T20 format. Karthik told a sports website – We know one thing for sure that Rishabh Pant has the ability to play shots. When the fielders are up in the ground, he can bat brilliantly in the powerplay. Interestingly, the statistics also show that he has the highest strike rate when he opens. He likes fielders inside 30 yards. He likes to face the bowlers and put them under pressure.

Dinesh Karthik said- I think it will be very interesting to see where the team management makes Rishabh Pant bat. The big question for Team India is how they will use Rishabh Pant and I think we will see him at the top of the order and try to feed him enough balls. He is second to none when it comes to stroke play. We need to accept the fact that he will fail in a few matches, but when he starts scoring runs, he is a delight to watch.

Karthik said- I think Rishabh Pant has cemented his place in Test cricket and to a large extent in ODI cricket as well

Dinesh Karthik said- I think Rishabh Pant has cemented his place in Test cricket and to a large extent in ODI cricket as well. The Indian team and he himself is trying to figure out where to fit him in the team. Where do you see Rishabh Pant fitting in when you have Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya? We need a left-handed batsman, but where do we feed him? We know what Kohli can do at number three. Suryakumar is also best at his position. In such a situation, we think that Pant should be sent at number five, but we have to see how Pant bats at number one.
