Central Broward Regional Park Stadium: Legendary West Indies cricketer Brian Lara has thrown his support behind India's opening pair of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, urging the team to stick with the star duo despite their recent struggles in the ongoing T20 World Cup.
India's opening partnership has been under the spotlight, with Kohli's performances notably below par. The prolific right-hander has registered scores of 1, 4 , and 0 in the tournament so far.
Meanwhile, Rohit began the campaign with a promising half-century against Ireland (52 off 37) but failed to capitalise in the subsequent matches, managing just 13 and 3 runs. Despite these setbacks, Lara believes that altering the opening combination could disrupt the team's balance and emphasised the importance of consistency, particularly in the top order.
