In this way, some are of the opinion that Virat Kohli along with Rohit Sharma can handle the responsibility of opening for India. However, Team India captain Rohit Sharma has claimed that no decision has been taken on this matter yet. He clarified that until his side or coaches Rahul Dravid and Ajit Agarkar say anything in this matter, all the news coming out are false. He made this statement while talking to Adam Gilchrist, Michael Vaughan in an English podcast.

Virat Kohli in tremendous form
The T20 World Cup will start from June 1. Meanwhile, there is a possibility that Team India captain Rohit Sharma will open with Kohli in this tournament. However, along with Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill will also be options to open. But Jaiswal has not been able to perform well for Rajasthan Royals in the current IPL. He is struggling to get back into form. While Shubman Gill's performance is going well for Gujarat Titans. Moreover Virat Kohli is opening for his team RCB this season and he has scored 361 runs in 7 matches. Currently the Orange Cap is in his name. Whereas Rohit Sharma has scored 261 runs in 6 matches including a century. Now it will be interesting to see who will open for India in this situation.
