Rohit Sharma- KL Rahul to open

India don’t have much headache with respect to their opening combination as the skipper Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul, who is one of the most successful T20 batsmen for India to date as numbers suggests will occupy the opening slots.

India do have some other options like Mayank Agarwal, Ishan Kishan, Prithvi Shaw but they are definitely below KL Rahul in the pecking order.

The former skipper Virat Kohli will slot in at #3. Though the recent form of Virat Kohli has not been great, there are very few players better than Virat Kohli in the world let alone in India, when it comes to bouncy conditions.

The dashing wicket keeping batsman Rishabh Pant will take up the number 4 slot whose class and quality is for everyone to see.

Things get interesting for the #5 and #6 slots as India have Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson, and Suryakumar Yadav for the #5 slot while Hardik Pandya and Venkatesh Iyer will be fighting for the #6 slot.

With the kind of form Suryakumar Yadav is in, he should be a straightforward choice for #5 slot, while Hardik Pandya, who is fit as before, as proving himself in this IPL will take the #6 slot as the batting all rounder.
