India vs US match show us how gullible is Indian opening. Even against a team like US Rohit and Kohli struggled. Before adapting to the ground and learning about the player they started to hit the balll high in a comparatively big ground.
In Indian grounds which favours the batsmen clearing the rope is an easy task. Kohli was trying for a blind shot and paid the price for his casual shot.
Saurabh Netrawalkar, a newcomer who was trained by India, who played for India under20 squad with Rahul, easily overcame the Indian opening challenge.
Till final we have to face swashbuckling England, ruthless Australia, clinical Newzeland, professional South Africa, flamboyant West Indies, and giant killer Bangladesh.
If a player is not fit, not playing to the level they are expected of, we have to be professional like the Australian or English team.
Let us hope that our opening side will resurrect and give us a good opening stand which will eventually give a chance to build a good total. Keeping fingers crossed
