Who will open for india in 4th T20I match?

KL Rahul continues his poor form in T20Is will he opens in today's match we has to wait and see. Kohli already made a statement about his placement in team, will he opens will Rohit its a big doubt or the young star Ishan kishan made a big impact in his first match will he opens with Rohit.

India have depth in their squad for this series as far as their opening options are concerned. Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul were touted as India's current first-choice pair by captain Virat Kohli, with Shikhar Dhawan and Ishan Kishan offering left-handed choices. All four of them have had at least a game so far, with Rahul being the constant across the three matches. His poor form, however, has meant that India haven't gone past the first few overs without losing a wicket in each match. In two of those cases, their powerplay scores have ended up being among their four slowest ever: 22 for 3 in the first game, and 24 for 3 on Tuesday.

With only two games' room to experiment on team structure before the T20 World Cup in October, will they make changes to the opening combination? Here are some options:

Stick to Sharma-Rahul
Although they were said to be first choice, the two only came together in the third match. Their stats together suggest they are India's most destructive opening pair ever in this format (minimum two partnerships): 565 runs together in 12 innings at a scoring rate of 9.65 per over. Two of those innings have had century stands, including India's record 165.

It's plain to see why India would consider them their first-choice pair, but will they continue to back Rahul as he goes through a lean phase? Since the start of 2018, only four batsmen have more T20 runs than Rahul - Babar Azam, Alex Hales, Colin Munro, and Aaron Finch. But India's need to try out new options and cement a third opener for the T20 World Cup might go against him for now.

India need to use the most of powerplay restriction, last three T20Is we seen that India can't capitalized the powerplay as much as England team.
