He also selected Virat Kohli to bat at No. 3 and Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, and Rishabh Pant as India's Nos. 4, 5, and 6, respectively.
"I consider KL Rahul, the vice captain, to open with Rohit Sharma. I consider Suryakumar Yadav at position #4 and Virat Kohli at position #3. However, in a T20 format, you search for players at positions 4,5, and 6 who can close out games for you and can double as power hitters when necessary. They should also be able to stabilise innings. My selections for the three hitters in positions 4,5, and 6 are Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, and Rishabh Pant "on SPORTS18's daily sports news programme "SPORTS OVER THE CLOCK," Karim
"Moreover, you can rearrange them based on how many overs are still available. However, in my opinion, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul should bat up the order "Added he.
