Skipper Rohit Sharma brilliantly led India from the front with the bat against the West Indies in the first T20I at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Wednesday. He anchored the Men In Blue’s run chase with a quickfire 40 runs off just 19 deliveries and also went on to be the top scorer for the hosts in the contest. Rohit received great support from youngster Ishan Kishan who scored 35, opening the innings.

Even though Ishan played well as an opener, former India wicketkeeper-batter Parthiv Patel reckons that the southpaw will not be opening the innings for the Indian team in the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia later this year and instead, it will be the current limited-overs vice-captain, KL Rahul. Giving further clarification on the same, Patel has said that the Karnataka cricketer is a long-term opening option according to him whereas, Kishan allows Rohit to take a bit of time when he is in the right mind space.

India was up against West Indies in the opening T20I of the three-match series at Eden Garden and won the contest by six wickets to mark a great start. Young spinner Ravi Bishnoi marked his international debut for India and scripted absolutely magical figures while clinching two wickets in four overs, conceding only 17 runs.

In the same light, skipper Rohit Sharma lauded the youngster and talked about his special talent. He went on to say that Bishnoi can bowl at any stage and has a bright future ahead of him. The young leggie sent back Roston Chase and Roman Powell to make things easy for the hosts.
