No Jadeja; Rohit Sharma To Replace Kohli With Jaiswal As Opener? India's Probable XI Vs SA

Rohit Sharma's India and Aiden Markram's South Africa will go up against each other on Saturday (June 29) at Kensington Oval in the highly-anticipated T20 World Cup 2024 final. 

Two unbeaten sides, who have been exceptional throughout the competition in every department, will meet with eyes on the prize.

Even though India had a seamless tournament this year, they have a quite a few problems in their unit. The biggest issue is the form of Virat Kohli, who has only managed 75 runs across seven innings in the competition, something which we don't often see.


Can Kohli's Form Tempt Rohit To Bring Jaiswal?

Nevertheless, Rohit will surely keep faith in Kohli, as his comments after the semi-final against England indicated. That means Yashasvi Jaiswal will have to end the tournament without getting a single opportunity.

Rohit, Virat, Pant, Suryakumar Yadav, and Shivam Dube are expected to keep their places, while Ravindra Jadeja, who has not been living up to his lofty standards, could be an area to be worried.

However, given India's current form and their thought process's history, the Rahul Dravid-led think tank is unlikely to make any changes in the summit clash, meaning they will keep the same playing XI which dominated the defending champions England in the semi-final.
