New Delhi: The countdown for the T20 World Cup to be held in West Indies and America has started. Meanwhile, before the mega-event, former Australian captain Ricky Ponting has given a big statement regarding Virat Kohli’s batting order in the World Cup. Virat Kohli has had a fantastic IPL season, in which he has so far scored 708 runs at an average of 64.36.
Opening for Royal Challengers Bangalore, Virat has performed well with a strike rate of 155.60. This is his best figure in his IPL career. Ricky Ponting believes that Virat Kohli, who usually bats at number three, should open the batting with captain Rohit Sharma in the T20 World Cup.
Ricky Ponting said, “The Indian selectors still have to take a big decision. Yashasvi Jaiswal is also a part of this team. India does not have much option of left-handed batsmen, so they will have to take the right decision. But I am sure.” That Team India will field Kohli and Rohit Sharma as openers.”
Virat was India’s best player during the World Cup 2022. He became the tournament’s top scorer with 296 runs in six innings, which included an unbeaten 82 against Pakistan.
