While answering a fan’s query on his YouTube channel, Chopra named four options for India’s opening slot, adding that Rohit Sharma is an automatic selection. Shikhar Dhawan is one, KL Rahul is the second and then you’ve got Virat Kohli too. Rahul might just win that race because now Pant will come in the middle order so there is no need for Rahul to play that role. So I would play Rahul up the order and Kohli at 3 or maybe the other way around,” Chopra said. Rahul and Rohit have been India’s preferred openers when both of them have been available for selection in T20Is.
