'All those first three wickets, KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, were outstanding international wicket-taking deliveries and got rid of players who were in brilliant form. They literally finished off the backbone of the Indian side,' wrote Kris Srikkanth

'In this game he was aggressive from the start and his 104 really gave India the momentum early on. Contrast that with the hundred he scored against South Africa in the first game, two completely different innings, but equally as important,' Kris Srikkanth wrote on Rohit Sharma after the vice-captain's ton against Bangladesh at the ICC World Cup 2019

'There are still some problems for India to fix, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are the main run getters at the moment and they need some support,' wrote Kris Srikkanth

'To reach 20,000 runs quicker than any man before him is a fantastic achievement but his (Virat Kohli) true greatness lies in his adaptability,' wrote Kris Srikkanth

'Every team that comes up against India will know that the top three are going to be a real danger and give them the perfect platform, especially with Rohit’s tendency to score big hundreds,' wrote Kris Srikkanth after India's win over Pakistan at the ICC World Cup 2019

'The other major plus for India is that Yuzvendra Chahal is in superb form and that makes a big difference because he gets wickets with his spin in the middle overs,' wrote Kris Srikkanth after India's win over Australia in the ICC World Cup 2019

'Australia next up will be a step up and India will probably have to improve at the Oval but overall it was a promising start. From my own experience in 1983, winning the opening game of the tournament gave us the impetus to go on and win the whole thing, so it was important for India to start with a victory in the ICC World Cup 2019,' wrote Kris Srikkanth
