Team India squad for T20 World Cup News
Virat Kohli had opened alongside Rohit Sharma in India's fifth and final T20I against England earlier this year, but the skipper has now confirmed that it will be indeed Rohit and Rahul who will open the batting for the Men in Blue.
Raina also said that the Indian pace attack has plenty of experience and the inclusion of Shardul Thakur will give extra strength to the pacers that skipper Virat Kohli has at his disposal.
The 30-year-old Varun, a qualified architect, is not a product of the BCCI's systematic coaching programme and he is also not someone who has come up the age-group ranks in state cricket. Also, the spinner's dodgy knees are BCCI medical team's biggest headache ahead of the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup.
Suryakumar, who would be playing his first World Cup, expressed excitement ahead of the start of the tournament.
Rohit had played three matches in the 2007 ICC World T20, remaining unbeaten in all three of his innings. He smashed an unbeaten 50 against South Africa in a crucial Super 8 clash.
