Suspense over Virat Kohli's position in T20 World Cup 2024 is over, Suresh Raina said at which number the 'King' should play

Only one question about the Indian team's star batsman Virat Kohli remains at the center of discussion, at which number should he bat in the upcoming T20 World Cup.

Virat Kholi won the Orange Cap in the 2024 Indian Premier League after making 741 runs in 15 games as the opener for Royal Challengers Bangalore. Kohli amassed one hundred and five half-centuries during this time. Kohli also allayed concerns expressed at this time regarding his strike rate.

Many cricket experts think that in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma should open the innings. However, former Indian all-rounder Suresh Raina has a different perspective on the subject.

As he is accustomed to playing at number three, Raina feels that Virat Kohli has contributed significantly to the nation's success while batting there. If Kohli were to bat third in a major tournament, Raina thinks it would be appropriate.

Suresh Raina, while answering the questions of journalists on the occasion of the jersey launch of India Champions in the World Championship of Legends, said, "It would be best for Virat Kohli to bat at number 3. This is because the team needs a batsman who keeps the run rate balanced by rotating the strike after hitting a six. There is no better batsman than Virat Kohli in this matter. That's why I believe that Virat Kohli should bat at number-3, not open.''

Suresh Raina also said that the Indian team is a strong contender to win the upcoming T20 World Cup title. Raina said, ''Rohit Sharma is a great leader. The boys of the Indian team have worked hard. All the players will return to form because when it comes to playing for the country, a different spirit and enthusiasm arise from within and we will fight with all our might. The Indian team squad is fantastic and I feel it is a strong contender for the title.''

Suresh Raina said that he is very impressed with Yashasvi Jaiswal's batting and he hopes that the young batsman will perform brilliantly in the T20 World Cup 2024. Raina said, ''Yashasvi Jaiswal bats very aggressively. I hope he will perform well in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. Looking at Yashasvi's aggression, it can be said that bowlers will be afraid of him. Apart from this, Yashasvi is a left-handed batsman, so this will be of great benefit to the team combination.
