An ex-New Zealand star gave a late Twist in India's Playing XI

Simon Doull, who is the former cricketer for New Zealand, is fulfilling his responsibility as a commentator in the T20 World Cup 2024. He gave an elate twist to the combination of team India, suggesting Yashasvi Jaiswal could be set to open with Rohit Sharma in the opening match of team India of the tournament against Ireland.

Although it looks like Rohit and Virat would open for Team India in their first match of the campaign, Doull revealed a rumour that he heard about Jaiswal that changed everything. In a chat, Doull said, "My team would have Virat and Rohit opening in the batting; they are the two best players to do that at this point in time, Rishabh Pant as a left-hand alternative for a point differential at 3.

Dube, Hardik, and Jadeja are at 5, 6, and 7, followed by SKY at 4. It just sits nicely for me, and the Indian line-up if they go down that road, I think it is the best way." He went on, "They've given Jaiswal a lot of chances that would surprise me if they brought him in, but I've heard rumors today that he was the first into the nets. Who do they leave out? Shivam Dube? That would surprise me a touch."
