The T20 World Cup no doubt is the most significant event which almost every team in the world is looking forward to in the upcoming few months. The tournament which will be featuring several top-notch cricketing nations feature in an intense competition of the shortest format of the game shall indeed be a treat to watch for cricket lovers all around the globe.&nbsp;



All teams have already started their preparations to plan out the strongest of strategies in order to achieve the best results in the all-important tournament that is supposedly going to begin in November this year. The Indian team like other years will once again be looking to make a strong impact in the tournament, leaving behind their failures in the previous T20 World Cup in 2021.&nbsp;



Given below is a list of three possible opening partnerships in which India could go within the T20 world cup 2022.?







<h2>1. Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul</h2>

The first and possibly the most obvious opening pair which India would be liking to stick with is the Rohit -Rahul duo. Both these batsmen have been a threat to any opposition Bowling lineup in the world in the recent past. Rohit Sharma who's been newly appointed the captain has looked in fine rhythm in white ball cricket providing flying starts to his side.



KL Rahul who's out of the team with an injury presently also has been in some terrific form in the past few years and thus will be a great addition to the Indian team for sure in the T20 World Cup 2022.







<h2>2. Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan</h2>

Another possible opening pair which India could use in the T20 World Cup 2022 is Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan. Rohit Sharma who's been a regular opener for the side will surely not be a doubt about the position for the side.&nbsp;



Ishan Kishan who hasn't really been a regular part of the side has grabbed each and every opportunity he's got due to the absence of regular players and played some incredibly good innings while opening the batting.&nbsp;



His performances in his recent outing against <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England_cricket_team">South Africa</a> prove the fact that he too might be a good enough option for the Indian team to go with ahead of the T20 world cup 2022.







<h2>3. Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant</h2>

The opening partnership which India tried to use as an experiment in India's recent T20I series against England was that of Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant. The explosive left-handed opener was provided with an opportunity to open the batting with skipper Rohit Sharma considering his red hot form during that period.&nbsp;



The wicket-keeper batsman has got the ability to bat fearlessly and play big shots with ease against quality bowling lineups. Although we've not been able to see the best of Rishabh Pant the opener in T20Is so far for India, he might seriously stand a chance to be India's X factor at the top of the order just in case he gets a chance.&nbsp;

Player of the Match: Bas de Leede



Bas de Leede(After Match)-"I believe I may benefit from the experience from the previous two days. We had to deal with losing wickets toward the end. We suffered costly wicket losses. We can all learn from that as a team because we cannot afford to do that. Confidence has always been present, and winning two close games is satisfying. The boys may have a little bit more freedom now."



Gerhard Erasmus(Namibia Captain after the match, said: "It's never pleasant to lose when the outcome is so close. We performed admirably on the field. Both teams appeared to be having difficulty with the bat, but they ran faster than we did. There were enough times throughout the game when we failed to move the ball better and make adequate contact with the bat."



In the words of Scott Edwards(Netherlands Captain after the match): "We have a reputation for playing aggressively up to the final few balls. In terms of front-loading the runs, we did okay. In these circumstances, we were aware that Namibia has some strong death bowlers. Although it came a little bit closer than we preferred, it's still nice. It's about winning the third cricket match right now."

Player of the Match: Sikandar Raza



Sikandar Raza(After Match):



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">Scotland deserves all the credit for making things difficult; it was rather competitive. It is also an emotionally charged time. It is both extremely satisfying and humbling. The two kids deserve praise for sticking around until the the end and completing it. Give me 8?10 balls to get rolling, but you're going to be the one to help us win this game, I told Sean [Williams]. Our fans may be few in number, but you wouldn't know it from the noise they make; they promote Zimbabwean cricket at home and abroad. I'm really glad for them.</blockquote>



Richie Berrington | Scotland captain:



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">With the bat, I thought we were 25?30 runs short. On this surface, we could have made it very difficult with a few more runs. That lack of momentum was disappointing. We have many positives to take back from some of the performances we have given.</blockquote>



Craig Ervine | Zimbabwe captain:



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">No one, I believe, can adequately explain what this implies. It's lovely to show our appreciation for the nation's support throughout the past week. We appreciate the support, and we look forward to touring Australia with this kind of assistance.</blockquote>
