T20 World Cup: India look to finalise batting order with warm-up against Australia

ITDC INDIA EPRESS/ITDC NEWS R Their preparations for the T20 World Cup off to a smooth start, India would look to finalise their batting order for the tournament-proper when they take on Australia in their second and final warm-up game on Wednesday.

India will clash with Pakistan in their main event lung-opener on Sunday. The tournament will be Virat Kohli’s last as skipper in the format besides being the swan-song for head coach Ravi Shastri.

As pointed out by Kohli before the warm-up game against England on Monday, India’s top three is already settled with K.L. Rahul and Rohit Sharma opening the batting and the skipper coming in at the crucial no.3 position.

Having made a stroke-filled 70 before retiring in the seven-wicket win over England, the young Ishan Kishan has also staked his claim for a place in the playing eleven.

Rishabh Pant (29 not out) was promoted ahead of Suryakumar Yadav and it remains to be seen where the latter bats on Wednesday.

Rohit didn’t bat against England and come Wednesday, the right-hander is expected to get a go against the Australians.
