Brian Lara warns Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli ahead of IND vs AFG match in West Indies; says this...
Star Sports ahead of India's next match, Lara said, “I think there is all sorts of possibilities. They are two very aggressive players.
They're two world-class players. But sometimes, in terms of putting together a partnership in the Caribbean, you think well, you know 60-70 runs in the powerplay would be a great start.
I think one could afford to drop anchor, but it all depends, you know, on match-ups. If you feel that, as a batter, that you are better equipped than the other player to do well against a bowler, then you do that.
So I think it's a conversation that has to happen in the middle, and it doesn't necessarily mean that they have to go from both ends," Lara said.Earlier, during the Group match against Ireland at New York's Nassau County stadium, Rohit and Kohli added only seven runs for the first wicket.The West Indies legend even stated that Kohli and Rohit's opening partnership will decide the fate of the match against Afghanistan as India have a 3-0 track record and would like to make it 4-0 in T20 World Cup.“But you know, I think psychologically they would know how important both of these players coming into form quickly is for that. So, there are different ways of going about it.
I don't feel blasting away in the Caribbean is one of the things you know. You just need to think about what you're doing and put a good partnership on because you know more often than not when you're playing Afghanistan than you're thinking, When are the spinners coming? Then the contest begins," Star Sports quoted Lara as saying.More to follow....Milestone Alert!
