Ex-India coach gives his opinion on Ro-Ko's future

Speaking on ‘Cricket Live’, JioStar expert Sanjay Bangar praised India's top order: "It was a terrific batting display by all three Indian batters. They made full use of the conditions and the dew. What

they missed in the first two matches, they got a better pitch here and made the most of it. Both, Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal were restrained. They didn't try too hard, just played themselves in. Rohit knew he won't play an international game for 30-40 days, and Yashasvi was finding his rhythm in 50-over cricket. Then when Virat Kohli came in, he decided to give some entertainment. The fluency we saw was terrific to watch. He seems to be on top of his game."

On why Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s presence is crucial in the India Team: "I don't think the place of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the team should have been a question. Look at what they have done over so many years. They have retired from two formats, so it's obvious they might take just a couple of sessions to get back into action, because they have done it so often. They don't need to play as many matches as a younger player. Once they are there, once they are hungry and fit, you want players of that quality. You have to treat them differently and give them space. When they are on song, you see the difference. Their sheer presence changes the dressing room atmosphere. After the humiliating loss in the Test series, they must have spoken to the boys. They helped put things behind and play with freedom and authority, giving the whole team supreme confidence."

On Yashasvi Jaiswal's long-term potential as an opening batter: "More than this particular innings of Yashasvi Jaiswal, look at it from an Indian cricket point of view. He is an established Test opener. Anyone who has batted at the top knows how hard it is to be consistent in Test cricket. But if you also open in white-ball cricket, you learn to handle the ups and downs of international cricket better. It keeps you in touch, keeps you playing against international bowlers, and you get those vital performances. That helps you take form from one format to another. Right now, he may not play regularly with Rohit opening. But once Rohit is done, I clearly see Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill benefiting from batting in the top order in white-ball cricket. That will also help their Test cricket game."

Speaking on ‘Cricket Live’, JioStar expert Dale Steyn praised KL Rahul's leadership: "KL Rahul's captaincy has been very good in this series. He has marshalled his bowlers well and they have responded to him. Even with a wet ball, he never complained. After the second ODI loss, when asked what he could have done differently, he said the toss. The toss played a big role. You can see he is calm, cool and collected. He leans into Rohit Sharma for advice and he also does a lot of captaining himself. He leans into Kohli to help motivate the players. His team responds well to him and his bowlers back him. Sometimes, Kuldeep Yadav wants a DRS review every single time, and KL has to calm him down. But overall, I thought his captaincy was really good."
