Virat Kohli confirms Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan to open for Team India in ODIs

Indian skipper Virat Kohli on Monday confirmed that Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma will open for Team India in the three-match ODI series against England, which begins from March 23 in Pune.

"Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma will definitely open. When it comes to ODI, there are no doubts about that.



They've been amazing over the past few years," he said in the pre-series virtual press conference.

The series will be particularly important for the 35-year-old left-handed batsman who failed to make an impact as an opener in the T20Is where he managed to get only one opportunity before being benched.
