Former team India pacer predicts who will be fielded in the India Playing squad

Former Team India pacer RP Singh said that the Men in Blue should open with Virat Kohli and should have both wicketkeeper-batters, Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson in the team. Singh positioned Pant at the number five position while keeping Samson at number three. The former cricketer also touched upon Hardik Pandya, saying that the all-rounder will have a giant role in maintaining the balance in the team.

"According to me, Sanju Samson and Rishabh Pant should be in the playing XI. I think Sanju played brilliantly in the IPL 2024, and he can play at the No. 3 spot. Virat can open for India. And on number 5 you can put Rishabh.

"Hardik's IPL has not gone well and he also knows this, so he is working hard for it. Hardik's bowling is very important for Team India. If Hardik bowls well and swings well then the balance of our team will be created well," RP Singh said to the media during the World Championship of Legends team India Champions' jersey launch.
