NEW DELHI: As the Indian cricket team prepares for their opening match against Pakistan in the Asia Cup on September 2, one of the pivotal questions remains over the batting slot for left-handed wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan. With KL Rahul unavailable for the first two games of the tournament, Kishan is set to step into the role, but the team management is deliberating on where to position him in the batting order.
Kishan's recent success as an opener in India's ODI series against the West Indies has led to speculation about his batting position. In that series, he amassed an impressive 184 runs in three matches, boasting an average of 61.33 with scores of 52, 55, and 77.
