Jayawardene Criticizes Kohli For Changing Rohit's Batting Order, Says 'It Makes No Sense'

By IANS News November 02, 2021 • 15:39 PM View: 1418

Virat Kohli's decision to bring Rohit Sharma at No. 3, instead of his usual position at the top of the order, has not gone down well with Sri Lankan great Mahela Jayawardene, who has said that changing the top order makes no sense.

After the 10-wicket hammering at the hands of Pakistan in the opening ICC T20 'Super 12' game, the team management decided to open with young Ishan Kishan and KL Rahul, while Rohit Sharma came in at No.3 and Kohli at No.4 in the match against New Zealand.
