New Delhi [India], July 6 (ANI): Former Indian opener Aakash Chopra has claimed that batter Ruturaj Gaikwad won't be opening the batting for India in the upcoming first T20I against England which gets underway on Thursday.

Ruturaj might have impressed everyone with his skills during the IPL and T20Is against Ireland, however with skipper Rohit Sharma returning to the side, there will be some changes to the playing XI.

"Rohit is back for the T20I. Who goes out now? Ruturaj won't get another opportunity but will Sanju retain his place? What about Hooda? Lots of questions will get answered tomorrow when India takes on Jos Buttler's England. Can't wait," said Aakash Chopra on KOO app.

Wicket-keeper batter Sanju Samson too had impressed everyone with his stroke-making in the Ireland T20Is.
