Former India bowler Zaheer Khan has been fiercely praised by Suryakumar Yadav. Due to Suryakumar’s excellent batting, Zaheer said Virat Kohli could open with Rohit Sharma in the fifth T20 match. In the fourth and fifth T20 matches against England, Suryakumar batted amazingly. Mumbai batsman Joffra Archer hit a long six in the first delivery of international cricket. After losing in four consecutive innings, KL Rahul started India’s innings with Virat Rohit and gave the team a stormy start by adding 94 runs in just 9 overs.

Talking to ‘Cricbuzz’, Zaheer Khan said, ‘How can Virat Kohli open? That is the first question. This was possible because India got a batsman like Suryakumar Yadav. Suryakumar went to the ground and showed what can be done in the third place. The idea started from there and the result was, as Virat Kohli put it, ‘I can’t get down in batting mode consistently.’ Shreyas Iyer also had to get down to the batting order, so he decided early on would be a good option, let’s try it. In the fifth T20, Rohit Sharma scored 64 while batting hard and Virat Kohli 80 not out.

After winning the fifth T20, Virat Kohli said he would open with Rohit Sharma in T20 cricket. He has confirmed that Royal Challengers Bangalore will make an opening appearance in IPL 2021. With the partnership of 94 runs between Rohit and Kohli, India managed to score 224 runs in the fifth T20 match, which is the team’s biggest total in a T20 against England. Chasing a target of 225, England were able to score only 188 runs for the loss of 8 wickets. India won the five-match T20 series 3–2 with a victory in the last T20.
