MI tried this opening pair last year for a couple of matches and then they decided to open with Yadav and Lewis, pushing Rohit down the order in the process. There is no doubt as to where Rohit should bat, the Indian vice-captain is a match-winner at the top of the order and should open the batting.

This pair can really be great as Lewis can go hard at the balling in the first couple of overs, allowing Rohit to build an innings in his typical style.

#1 Quinton de Kock and Rohit Sharma

A dream opening combination

This opening combination is a dream for cricketing fans as both these players are considered as one of the best opening batsmen in the world at the moment. This pair has the potential to be the best in IPL 2019.

Both de Kock and Rohit love to play long innings and that can really come handy for Mumbai Indians.

De Kock is the more attacking batsman and he can give Rohit the time he always needs to get in grips with the wicket. Also, de Kock is the form of his life and these two are clearly MI's best batsmen, and there's a saying that your best batsmen should always play the most overs.
