New Delhi: Ahead of the T20 World Cup, the Indian cricket team is experimenting with different experimentations and the most glimpse of this is being seen in the opening pair. In the first T20 match played against the West Indies, Suryakumar Yadav along with captain Rohit Sharma came out to open the innings, everyone was stunned. Because before him, wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant also opened with Rohit.  

Now, former Team India wicketkeeper Parthiv Patel has explained why Team India is doing this. Parthiv said that he feels that Team India is making so many changes in its opening pair because they want to fit Virat Kohli in the final XI in any way. Let me tell you that Kohli is not playing in this T20 series. In an interview, Parthiv Patel said that these changes are being made only because the team management wants to fit Virat Kohli in the playing-11, which is why sometimes Surya and sometimes Rishabh Pant are coming to open.

Virat Kohli has not been in form for quite some time now, he played in the T20 and ODI series against England but failed miserably. After that, Virat Kohli did not play in the T20 and ODI series against the West Indies. Parthiv Patel says that Virat Kohli should also play ODI cricket to get back to form so that he can also play shots there and he has time. Parthiv said that Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill have also come back to form in the same way, Virat Kohli is still a legend.
