4 batsmen who can fulfil the opening duties for India in the T20I series against England

#3 Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma has been struggling to get

form

for quite a time now

Another player who has paired exceptionally well in the limited overs format with Shikhar Dhawan is Rohit Sharma, who is one of the very few batsmen to score two centuries in T20Is. On his day, Rohit can tear any opposition apart which is the reason why he is the most dangerous opener in the limited format of the game, especially in T20Is.

Although Rohit has been struggling in T20Is for past few months, he was and is the most effective opener for India in the shortest format of the game. Given his fantastic strokeplay and upright timing when on song, he can prove to be quite deadly for the opponents.

Rohit has a good T20I record on his side. In 79 T20I matches that he played, amassing 1852 runs at an average of 30.87 and a strike-rate of 135.78, Rohit is second highest run-scorer for India in T20Is.
