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

#4 Virat Kohli

Virat has

opener

for India in T20Is in the past

One man who automatically features on the list is Virat Kohli. The Indian captain is arguably the best batsman in the world across all formats. Kohli has already opened the innings for India before in T20Is and commendably so.

Kohli has dealt with swing bowling well, which is late and difficult to pick, but still less abrupt than seam bowling, which is almost unnatural and catches you off-guard. Hence, with England T20I series coming up next, Kohli might open the innings for the Indian team as he seems perfectly fit with swing bowling.

The Indian captain has so far starred in 57 T20I matches and has scored 1983 runs at a brilliant average of 50.85 and a decent strike rate of 137.33. In addition to that, Kohli is the highest run-scorer for India in T20I cricket.
