There may be suspense about Ishan Kishan, but his friend can play in the Champions Trophy to be hosted by Pakistan next year. There is a demand to make him an opener in Team India for the Champions Trophy. This demand has been started by the player who retired from all forms of Indian cricket just 2 months ago. We are talking about Dinesh Karthik, who believes that Rohit Sharma is fine as an opener for the Champions Trophy. But, Ishan Kishan's friend can be a better partner than Yashasvi Jaiswal.

Ishaan and Gill's friendship is famous

Ishan Kishan's friend here means Shubman Gill. Gill and Ishan's friendship is famous in Indian cricket. Both of them like to stay together on every tour of the Indian team. Both are roommates in the hotel. Dinesh Karthik has advocated for making this friend of Ishan Kishan an opener.

Gill is better to open with Rohit- Karthik

Former Indian wicketkeeper batsman Dinesh Karthik has given his statement on Cricbuzz, in which he has described Shubhan Gill as a better partner for Rohit in opening for the Champions Trophy. He gave this answer to the question of cricket fans, in which he asked whether it would be right to go with Yashasvi in ​​opening with Rohit?

Make Yashasvi a back-up opener

Dinesh Karthik said that Yashasvi should be kept as a back-up opener. Whereas, Shubman Gill should open with Rohit. He said that India's middle order is already strong. According to Dinesh, Gill and Rohit should be the first choice in opening. If Gill does not live up to expectations then Yashasvi should be tried.

Those 3 matches will be important before the Champions Trophy

Dinesh Karthik also said that India has to play 3 ODIs before the Champions Trophy. Rohit-Gill should open together in that series to be played at home against England, so that preparation for the Champions Trophy can be done. India played the last ODI series in Sri Lanka, where it had to face defeat. Gill opened with Rohit in the ODI series against Sri Lanka.

The Champions Trophy is scheduled to be held in February-March next year under the hosting of Pakistan, but India is likely to play in it at a neutral venue.
