Former England captain Michael Vaughan has likened opening pair Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to opening pair Sachin Tendulkar-Virender Sehwag. He described Virat’s decision to open on the fifth T20 as a master stroke and praised both of them. After KL Rahul lost four consecutive innings, he started the innings with captain KL Virat Rohit Sharma in a decisive T20 match and gave the team a first-wicket stand of 94 in 9 overs.

While interacting with Krickbuzz, Michael Vaughan said, ‘Yes, they both look good as Sachin and Virender Sehwag. I mean, he was going to the ground and hitting the shorts with the first ball because he knew Sachin’s stability was on the other end. And when Sachin is batting, his strike rate is always good because he has many good options in the form of off-side, on-side, front-foot, back-foot and Virat. In the fifth T20, Rohit Sharma scored 64 while batting hard and Virat Kohli 80 not out.

Suryakumar batted superbly in the third position, but the former England captain said he had a chance to open Virat. He said, ‘Ravi Shastri and Virat Kohli may be looking to get this combination, but I think they have overcome it. And since Suryakumar Yadav has performed well in third place, I think he is totally prepared for international cricket, Virat should open up because you can’t feed him in fourth place. Now the first three positions seem pretty risky. “Suryakumar Yadav batted superbly in the third and fourth T20s and beat the English bowlers severely.
