‘Approach has to be changed in T20 format’
In the recent T20 World Cup, where India crashed out in the semi-finals after a ten-wicket loss to England, openers Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul scored 116 and 128 runs respectively, at a strike rate of 106.42 and 120.75. Virat Kohli, at No. 3, was hugely impressive, topping the tournament’s overall scoring charts with 296 runs at a strike rate of 136.40. But he, too, has failed to generate momentum from time to time, and there have been suggestions that India need to seriously consider their top three.
