Indian team's veteran batsman Virat Kohli has not been able to do anything special in the T20 World Cup 2024. The situation is such that Virat has scored only 75 runs in 7 innings while opening for the team. In such a situation, many veterans believe that Virat Kohli should not open in the final and he should play at number-3 only. Now Ravichandran Ashwin has given his opinion on this issue.

Actually, Ravichandran Ashwin believes that why should we try to fix something that is not broken. Ashwin said, 'Everyone is saying that we should keep Jaiswal in the team in place of Dubey and Jaiswal should open and Virat should play at number 3. Why fix what is not broken? Rishabh is playing at number 3. As far as I know, this is not a matter of debate.'

Overall, Ashwin has made it clear that the Indian team is at a place in the tournament where they should not experiment with their playing eleven. This is because the team has won matches continuously in the tournament with the current combination and it has proved to be correct. In such a situation, according to Ashwin, tampering with the combination would not be a right decision at all.

Also know that like Ashwin, captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Rahul Dravid have also backed Virat Kohli. Both these veterans have clearly said that even though Virat has not scored runs in the tournament so far, he has the ability to play a big innings in the final of the tournament which can turn the result of the match in favor of the Indian team.

India Probable Playing XI: Rohit Sharma (captain), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dubey, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah.
