Opener KL Rahul could only manage 18 runs in 16 balls and his teammate Ishan Kishan could only add four runs to the scoreboard. During this, Rohit Sharma No. Scored 14 runs in 14 balls. in third place and Kohli achieved a modest score of nine in 17 balls. After the game, Sunil Gavaskar criticized the change in the batting order and said that Rohit should never have been demoted from his opening role. The cricket legend also called Kishan a “hit-or-miss player” and that he should never have opened for India.
Speaking on Sports TakiGavaskar said, ‘I don’t know whether it is the fear of failure or something. But the change in the batting order did not help the team. A big player like Rohit Sharma is sent at number 3. And then someone like Kohli, who has scored so many runs at No. 3, comes to bat at No. 4. Then you have a youngster like Ishan Kishan, who has been given the responsibility of opening the batting.”

“Look, Ishaan Kishan is like a hit-or-miss player. He will score runs in one match and then he won’t score in others. So it is better for this kind of player to play him at no. 4 or 5 more Then he can swing his bat depending on the situation.But here you sent him to open so what happened you told Rohit Sharma we don’t trust you that Trent left arm bowling face . Bolt. If you do this to a player who has been playing in that position for so many years, he will also think he doesn’t really have the potential.”
He further added, “If Ishan Kishan had scored 70 runs today, we would have appreciated the move. But when this move doesn’t work, you are criticized.”
