Former head coach of Team India Ravi Shastri had recently suggested a radical move of demoting stalwart Virat Kohli to the No. 4 spot. It is a position that Kohli used to play regularly in the early part of his career in ODI cricket before he came to be recognized as the best No. 3 batsman in the world. No. 4 is also where Kohli plays for India in Test cricket.
However, former Indian opener Aakash Chopra has said that demoting Kohli to any position would only play into the opposition's hands. Chopra said on his YouTube channel, "Where should Virat bat? Everything has two or three sides to it."
He further said that, "The first thing is, assuming it is an India-Pakistan match, you have Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah, and Shadab Khan, a good bowling attack in front of you; what do you want as a Pakistan or an Australian team?"
"When would they want Virat to come to bat? The fewer overs there are left, the better it is. They will want Virat Kohli to come to bat in the 45th over; it will be even better for them."
Chopra said that the more overs Kohli gets to bat, the more effective he will be for India. As he said, "As overs keep getting elapsed, Virat Kohli will get marginalized more and more. He is a big player, but he can become big enough only if you give him as much opportunity as possible.
