There are four deserving openers – Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Mayank Agarwal, KL Rahil to choose from in the WTC final against New Zealand. Former India off-spinner Sarandeep Singh, who was a part of the selection committee responsible for India’s strong bench strength, put his weight behind the incumbents. I am confident he would do well and most probably start with the WTC final with Rohit. Sarandeep, however, said there more options waiting for India as far as opening the batting is concerned. The former selector mentioned Prithvi Shaw and Devdutt Padikkal, who have been scoring heaps of runs in domestic cricket.
