Indian skipper Rohit Sharma will be opening the batting alongside his senior pro Virat Kohli in the first game of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup against Ireland on Wednesday, June 5 in New York. The combination is probably an after-effect of the IPL season Virat Kohli had for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) scoring 741 runs and winning the Orange Cap but it meant that Yashasvi Jaiswal, the young left-hander, who has done well for India in the last year or so in T20Is and Tests had to warm the bench.
