Ponting 'pretty Sure' Kohli Will Open The Batting With Rohit In T20 WC
T20 World Cup: Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting believes that Virat Kohli, who usually bats at number three, would be best served opening the batting alongside skipper Rohit Sharma at the T20 World Cup, starting June 1 in the West Indies and USA.
Kohli has been having a stellar IPL season which has seen him score 708 runs so far at an average of 64.36 and more impressively with an IPL career best strike rate of 155.60 while opening for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
"They (selectors) have still got a decision to make because (Yashasvi) Jaiswal is in that squad and one thing they haven't got a lot in their team is left-hand batters, so they've got a decision to make with Jaiswal, but I'm pretty sure that they'll go with Kohli and Rohit Sharma (as openers)," said Ponting to ICC.
