Irfan Pathan, an expert Indian hitter who has been bowling in the IPL 2024 nets, gets named for the T20 World Cup 2024

T20 World Cup 2024: Former all-rounder Irfan Pathan has disclosed that Yashasvi Jaiswal has been bowling consistently in his IPL 2024 net sessions, and he is backing the young player to begin the innings alongside Rohit Sharma at the next T20 World Cup 2024.

According to Irfan Pathan, Virat Kohli should come in at number three and Yashasvi Jaiswal should begin alongside Rohit Sharma. Irfan said that Yashasvi and Rohit might provide India the ideal opening combination of left-hand and right-hand.

“You know, due of their mix of right and left hands, in my opinion, Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal should be the Indian openers. Irfan Pathan discussed the Rajasthan Royals star on Star Sports Press Room Show, Ticket to World Cup. “Remember that Yashasvi Jaiswal has an international strike rate of 160 and you need that, you need that firepower.”

The second point is that Yashasvi Jaiswal has been routinely bowling in the nets, so anything may happen if he is playing. As an alternative, you may play with five bowlers properly and use him as a sixth bowler if you want to maintain it.

In every other case, no one bowls, according to the batting order. The main problem facing Indian cricket is that no one bowlers in the top six. We also need to take it into consideration. Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma, and Virat bat at number three for me, thus,” he said.

Virat Kohli’s opening would let Shivam Dube and Rinku Singh play in the starting eleven: Pathan
Irfan Pathan did, however, add that it would be challenging for players like Shivam Dube and Rinku Singh to be included in the Indian playing eleven for the T20 World Cup 2024, which begins on June 2.

“When Virat opens up the batting, it makes it possible for the desired combination of 11 to be in a certain configuration. assuming it takes place, Shivam Dubey, assuming he’s on the team, may be playing. Guys like Rinku Singh may also be included in the playing eleven. That may not occur, however, if Virat bats third. That is a significant difficulty, Irfan Pathan said.
