The Indian team will start its campaign in the T20 World Cup against Ireland on Wednesday. In the warm-up game against Bangladesh, India replaced Yashasvi Jaiswal with Sanju Samson to open the innings with Rohit Sharma. Since then, there have been talks of India making changes to their top order. Ahead of the match, Indian head coach Rahul Dravid also remained tight-lipped on the matter, but he categorically refused to reveal his cards.

Sanju Samson in action against Bangladesh. Rohit Sharma and Sanju Samson opened the innings for India. Usually, Yashasvi Jaiswal plays as an opener, but during the practice match, Yashasvi did not get a chance. Sanju Samson got a chance, but he could not take advantage of this opportunity and got out after scoring one run in six balls. Even Virat Kohli didn't play against Bangladesh.

Team India has a lot of options. Dravid said Team India has a lot of options and the team management will take a call on the combination after considering the situation. "We have options. We are not opening our doors at this time. We also have Rohit, Yashasvi and Kohli who have started as openers in the IPL. We will look at all three options and decide on the team based on the situation. "
