Aakash Chopra Picks Up India's Probable Playing 11 Against Ireland

Akash Chopra On India’s expected playing XI against Ireland: Virat Kohli will start with Rohit Sharma, which means there's no place for Yashasvi Jaiswal. At No. 3, Rishabh Pant has a big chance to play because India needs a left-hander. The hope was to have a left-hander open the innings with Yashasvi playing, but they won't keep him in the XI because only one between him and Shivam Dube can play and they're going with Dube. This means Suryakumar Yadav will be at four. Depending on the next wicket, if a left-hander falls, it'll be Shivam Dube next. If a right-hander falls, it'll be Hardik Pandya next, that's your six. At seven and eight, I think it'll be Jadeja and Axar Patel. After that, you'll have Kuldeep Yadav who should 100% play... Then the two fast bowlers, Arshdeep Singh and Jasprit Bumrah. Arshdeep bowled really well in the first warmup game and Bumrah is Bumrah. That's the playing XI I see.

Rohit tried to get Dravid to stay on as India coach

Indian skipper Rohit Sharma expressed his desire for the partnership to continue with head coach Rahul Dravid after the latter confirmed that the ongoing T20 World Cup will be his last assignment with Men in Blue and he hasn't re-applied for the position.

"I tried convincing him to stay, but obviously, there are a lot of things that he needs to look after as well," Rohit said on the eve of the opener against Ireland. "But yeah, I've personally enjoyed my time with him. I'm sure the rest of the guys will say the same. It's been great working with him and I hope…I'm not going to say anything, actually. I'm not going to say anything."
