As far as the big names in Indian cricket with regards to batting unit are concerned, two players that come to our mind and they are none other than Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.
Both players have been leading the batting attack by example for several years now. Apart from that, Shikhar Dhawan who is currently out of the national reckoning has always been an important run-scorer for India in ICC events.
On the other hand, expectations have always been high when KL Rahul comes out to bat. However, the latter’s performances in the recent past have been disappointing. As a result, he came under fire for his series of low scores.
However, with youngsters namely Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan upping their ante of late, chances are high that KL Rahul might lose his opening spot since he has been out of form for a long time now.
Brett Lee names the player who should open for India ahead of KL Rahul in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023
With plenty of talented players already waiting in the wings, the Indian team management might turn to them this time around when it comes to selecting players for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.
Moreover, the last time when India won the ICC title was back in 2013 when they beat England in the final to win the Champions Trophy. Since then, it has always been near misses in marquee events.
India surrendered at the hands of England in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 semi-final fixture against England. Meanwhile, former Australia fast bowler Brett Lee names one player who should open for India ahead of KL Rahul in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023.
According to Brett Lee, Ishan Kishan should open the innings alongside Rohit Sharma for the ICC ODI World Cup 2023. The upcoming World Cup is ten months away from getting underway in India and Lee added that Ishan Kishan made a bold statement to open for India in the upcoming World Cup with his quickest double ton.
