Pakistan is a good team who comprehensively defeated India last year in the T20 World Cup. Following the tournament, India’s opening trio have never played together and this is a big gamble. There are big chances that the coordination and the cohesiveness of the trio will be missing in the next game which in turn can lead to a flop show for the Men in Blue.
In India’s last 24 T20I games since the 2021 ICC T20 World Cup, the trio didn’t feature together for the Men in Blue. One of the chief reasons for this has been injury or players getting rested. There have been numerous occasions where both Virat Kohli and KL have missed tournaments after being injured. The same also can be said for India team skipper Rohit Sharma.

It is also expected that the same top order for India will be retained in all likelihood for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup scheduled to take place in October in Australia. Adding to the worry of the team management is the poor form of Virat Kohli. The former India team skipper has been in terrible touch-off late and is desperate to be back among the big scores.
KL Rahul got his sports hernia operated post-IPL 2022 and just prior to his fitness test, tested positive for Covid. Rahul however passed his fitness test and traveled to Zimbabwe where he lead his side to a 3-0 clean sweep. Rohit Sharma found his touch back in England when he scored his only fifty in T20 after 9 games. The trio each has their own struggles which they will resolve in their own ways as India eyes to defend the Asia Cup for the 8th time.
