Any warm-up match ahead of a big event often gives a fair bit of idea about what the final combination might look like. Going by that logic, the India vs Bangladesh T20 World Cup warm-up match gave a lot of hint about India’s playing XI going forward. The major talking point was who would partner Rohit Sharma as opener when the T20 World Cup action starts for the Indian cricket team on June 5 against Ireland. There were two choices – Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli.
Virat Kohli did not play the match. Something, which India captain Rohit Sharma said was due to fatigue. “Virat has just arrived yesterday, he’s going to miss out,” he had said. However, Yashasvi Jaiswal was there. Interestingly, seven Indian batters got the taste of the conditions but designated opener Jaiswal did not.
