After securing a convincing eight-wicket win against Ireland in the T20 World Cup 2024 opener, underway in the USA and West Indies, the Rohit Sharma-led Team India will take on Pakistan in a high-octane clash on Sunday, June 9 at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. While fans saw a new opener alongside Rohit Sharma in Virat Kohli in match against Ireland.
However, Kohli’s debut as opener in T20 World Cup did not go as planned as he was dismissed for one off five balls. But the biggest question which comes to the mind of every Indian fan ahead of the high-octane clash is whether the team will go with Virat Kohli as opener. But if we go by the words of the Indian batting coach Vikram Rathour, they are likely to stick with the same order and eventually Kohli opening alongside Rohit once again in match against Pakistan.

Although Rathour directly did not answer Virat Kohli’s position to bat at in match against Pakistan, but surely confirmed that Rishabh Pant will come out at number three. “Yes, he has been batting really well. The two games he has played, he has looked really good. So, yes, at the moment, he is our number three, and it helps that he is the left-hander,” Team India batting coach said.
Pant scored an unbeaten 36 off 26 balls during his stay at the crease in match against Ireland. His inning included three boundaries and two maximums. Although, there is no clarity on Virat Kohli’s batting position in the upcoming clash, it would be interesting to see what comes out on the pitch that is expected to assist the pacers.
