We all know very well that Team India has been announced for the Asia Cup and it is believed that the same team is going to play for the World Cup 2023 as well, although the team that has been selected has a lot of contrast regarding the batting order. A situation of overturn has arisen. Team India's former head coach Ravi Shastri has even said about the batting order of Team India that Virat Kohli's batting order should be changed. Ravi Shastri had said that during the year 2019 World Cup, he was thinking that Virat Kohli should be done at number four and he has advised to do something similar in this World Cup. But Sanjay Manjrekar does not agree with his statement at all, he has even said that to do so would be to try to make Virat Kohli a scapegoat.

Let us tell you that while talking to Star Sports, Sanjay Manjrekar said that Virat Kohli's batting order should not be messed with at all. There will be talk of fitting Ishaan Kishan in the batting order, equally, there will be fear of changing Virat Kohli's batting order. It seems as if he has become the scapegoat. Manjrekar recalled that a similar incident had happened in the 2007 World Cup in which the decision to send Sachin Tendulkar to phone number four was going viral. In that, Team India was also eliminated in the first round itself.
