Champions Trophy: Kohli, Iyer Playing Well Is Biggest Takeaway For India, Says Paranjape
Dubai International Stadium: Jatin Paranjape, the former India cricketer and national selector, believes Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer playing well as a pair was the biggest takeaway for the Rohit Sharma-led side in their absorbing five-wicket win over Australia in the semifinal in Dubai.
On a tricky pitch at the Dubai International Stadium, Kohli made a masterly 84 off 98 balls, while Iyer hit 45 off 62 balls as India chased down 265 with 11 balls to spare and sealed their place in the title clash in Dubai on Sunday.
The Kohli-Iyer partnership for the third wicket was worth 91 runs. “Kohli and Iyer played well together, and this is probably the biggest takeaway for India. If they can bat for a large number of middle overs, then that sets the stall up for a successful promotion for Axar Patel and number six batter (KL Rahul),” Paranjape, a member of BCCI’s Cricket Advisory Committee and co-founder of KheloMore, told IANS on Wednesday.
