Former India opener Aakash Chopra feels that the Indian team management has terminated talks to field Virat Kohli in the team’s No. 4 position ahead of the ODI World Cup in India. . There was talk of him changing India’s batting order ahead of the continental tournament, putting the left-right combination at the top.
Many suggested that Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli should take a step back as batsmen and push Ishan Kishan to the top of the order. Many experts felt that this move could be an option for the team after Ishan’s talent drove his Indian team’s batting order in ODI cricket.
Speaking about India’s great win against Sri Lanka, Aakash Chopra said that the Indian team’s think tank has resolved the Ravi Shastri issue by naming him at No. 3 in the Asia Cup. I feel that way and I believe there is a solution. He is still undecided about his playing position in the team and he expects Ishan Kishan to bat at number four or five for India ahead of the mega event.
“There was a discussion before the tournament started. Ravi bhai (Shastri) said that Virat Kohli should be number four because Ishan Kishan, Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma should be number four. You may remember that I asked you to send it to “Top 3”
“Many also supported it. There will be no discussion about where Virat Kohli will play. If Ishan Kishan has to play, he will only play at number 4 or 5. He will play. Rohit, Shubman and Kohli are the best top three so he won’t reach the rankings but they should not be touched,” Aakash Chopra said.
In three innings of
Asia Cup 2023, the right-handed batsman has scored 129 runs at an average of 64.50. The veteran will aim to continue his good form in his third consecutive match against Australia. This will enable him to play in the ODI World Cup.
There Won’t Be A Discussion Again About Where Shubman Gill Will Play – Aakash Chopra
Aakash Chopra believes that young Indian batsman Shubman Gill has secured a top spot in the Indian team and his performance in the Asia Cup has helped him secure his place in the Indian team. I assure you that there will be no further discussion.
“I think MSK Prasad said that he can start negotiations with Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill can refuse the order or be demoted.” Shubman Gill said here I said I was going to stay. Considering the centuries he has hit and the way he has batted, there will be no more discussion about where Shubman Gill will play,” Aakash Chopra added.
Shubman Gill is expected to open the innings alongside India captain Rohit Sharma in the ODI World Cup to be held in India. His 50-over format this year saw India’s opening duo succeed at the top, allowing the team to get off to a strong start in the innings.
