Karim Wishes To See Kohli Bat At No. 3 In Second T20I Vs Afg; Patel Differs
T20 World Cup: With talismanic batter Virat Kohli joining the Indian team ahead of the second T20I against Afghanistan at the Holkar Stadium on Sunday, former wicketkeeper-batter Saba Karim thinks he should bat at number three.
But his fellow former wicketkeeper-batter Parthiv Patel believes Kohli should be opening the batting for India in T20Is. Kohli is all set to play a T20I for India after last featuring in the format during the ten-wicket defeat to England in the 2022 Men’s T20 World Cup semi-final at the Adelaide Oval.
“I am looking at Virat Kohli at No. 3, keeping in mind that the T20 World Cup is to be played in the West Indies and the USA. In the West Indies, India will be playing on slow wickets in the Super 8s. There you need someone who can control the entire innings. I think Rohit Sharma is backing Virat Kohli to play that role there,” said Karim on JioCinema.
