Who will Open with Rohit Sharma in West Indies series

Team India is set to play west indies for limited over series from today onwards. Even before Indian Team could start preparing and practising for the tour. Indian Team was hit by Covid crisis. Many players from Indian Camp were detected covid positive and doubts where raised regarding the West Indies series.

Players like Ruturaj Gaikwad , Shikhar Dhawan , Yuzi Chahal were tested positive for covid. Total 11 members from Indian camp including few support and backroom staff members were hit by covid.

So now question for BCCI was whether and how smooth conduct the WI series. BCCI said there will be no change in scheduling of WI series and series will go ahead as planned. Players like Shahrukh Khan , Rishi Dhawan , Mayank Agarwal and Ishan Kishan were added to the squad.

Another question which came was who would open with Rohit Sharma in 1st game as KL Rahul is unavailable due to personal reasons and next 2 openers in line Ruturaj and Shikhar Dhawan both are covid positive. Indian Captain Rohit Sharma came in press conference yesterday and confirmed that Ishan Kishan will open with him in this 1st ODI as Mayank Agarwal joined the Squad late so he is yet complete his quarantine and only option Team India has is Ishan Kishan.

Also there reports that Deepak Hoda is all set for his Indian Team debut. Many others might to get their debuts or starts. It would be interesting to see what would be Team India Line-up for 1st Odi.
