Unsurprisingly, the side's openers play a pivotal role in the team's desired winning campaign in the forthcoming tournament. Rohit Sharma has captained his side to a commendable victory of 3-0 against England in the recently concluded bilateral series. His swashbuckling century in the second ODI game is the cherry on top.
In addition, Shubman Gill showed great form in the just-ended ODI series against England, striking two fifties and a triple-digit mark in three games to help India defeat their opponents. He scored 259 runs in three innings with an average of 86.33, earning him Player of the Series honours. This makes him one of the promising batters to watch out for in the enticing tournament.
