Virat Kohli will open for India against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup despite scoring just 1 run against Ireland. India aims to stick with the Kohli-Rohit Sharma combination, dropping Yashasvi Jaiswal for Shivam Dube in the middle order. Rishabh Pant will bat at No.3, impressing with 36 not out against Ireland. Kohli's strong IPL performance, where he won the Orange Cap, influences this decision. Coach Vikram Rathour confirmed Pant’s position and praised Hardik Pandya’s bowling, who took 3/27 against Ireland. Sunday's match is crucial for Pakistan after their loss to the USA.
