The Indian superstar Virat Kohli just finishes his century drought in the last match against Afghanistan in T20 Asia Cup 2022. Virat scored a magnificent century while opening the inning with KL Rahul. Virat Kohli scored 122 runs on 61 balls and completed his century by hitting six to Fazal Haq Farooqi. He was completely unconscious till the fraction of the second and then he realized he smashed century after long 1021 days since from 2019.

Now, every one is looking ahead towards India Vs Australia match and hoping Virat should open in this match also. Most of the cricket expert already suggested that Virat should open the inning along with KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma should bat at no.4 position instead of Rishabh Pant.

According to Sknowpedia, the Indian team management should go for the current form instead of the hype of the player. If we talk about the no. 4 position, we lack the quality batsman who can compose the inning as well as destroy the opponent in the death overs.

The team combination will be the biggest question for the team management. To select appropriate and perfect playing 11 could be the headache for the Indian Captain Rohit Sharma as each player is capable of turning the match towards their team on their special day. Whether to go with 3 seam bowler and 2 spinner or 4 seam bowler and 1 spinner. the most uprising question who will bat at batting order.

There is also a healthy competition between Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik for the role of wicketkeeper. We can not be at ease that Rishabh will be the first choice for the wicketkeeper role as we have seen in the past matches when priority is given to Dinesh Karthik above Rishabh Pant.

Who will be the all-rounder?

Meanwhile there will also be the competition for the role all-rounder between Axar Patel and Deepak Hooda. We have seen the explosive batting of Deepak Hooda in this IPL Season and his fine century against Ireland but the big question is can he complete the quota of his 4 overs. We rarely saw that he has completed his 4 over quota in any T20 match. So there could be a narrow chance for Axar Patel to come in the playing 11 who can bat at lower order and could complete his 4 overs as he brings left arm specialty in the team. Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar will be the first choice of the Rohit Sharma. There is fight for 3 seamer in the playing 11.

According to Sknowpedia, there could be tough competition for 3rd seamer in the team between Harshal Patel and Arshdeep Singh. Arshdeep performed really well in the Asia Cup T20 at the death overs. Arshdeep also showed his skills and temperament in this IPL Season while bowling at death whereas Harshal Patel is the master of the middle and death overs. He is a purple cap winner in the IPL Season and earned the spot. He can also contribute with the bat in the late order at 8 or 9 position.
