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.

"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.
