VVS Laxman anticipated India’s batting order, which included some surprising omissions

With India’s T20 World Cup 2021 campaign about to begin on Sunday, many fans have been left wondering about Virat Kohli’s favourite starting XI for the event. Former cricketer VVS Laxman chose his own expected line-up for Kohli’s team, which included the typical names as well as a few surprises.

The Test cricket veteran did not include Ishan Kishan in his batting order and also overlooked bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur, according to Star Sports. “They have a plethora of options. However, I will start Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul. Virat Kohli will be ranked third, Suryakumar Yadav fourth, Rishabh Pant fifth, Hardik Pandya sixth, Ravindra Jadeja seventh, Bhuvneshwar Kumar eighth, and Bumrah ninth “Laxman stated.

“Nos. 10 and 11 will be spinners Varun Chakravarthy and Rahul Chahar,” he added.

Laxman justified his lineup by claiming that the first seven in the order will be able to score a lot of runs.

“It’s a long tail, but I’ll bet on the top seven to get the majority of the runs,” he said.

On Sunday, India will meet Pakistan at the Dubai International Stadium in their first encounter. They already played a warm-up game against England, which they won by seven wickets.
