The benefits of a cracking start were never more apparent than on Saturday at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. Having struggled to find any sort of momentum in their four previous matches, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli found a semblance of run-scoring touch against Bangladesh in their second Group 2 clash, on the back of which India posted their highest total to date of the T20 World Cup.
The cracking 39-run opening salvo, off just 22 deliveries, set the tone and India’s middle order built superbly on that to race away to 196 for five, the highest tally at the venue in this tournament. Rohit and Kohli both threw away grand starts, leaving it to the muscular middle of Rishabh Pant, Shivam Dube and the brilliant Hardik Pandya to keep the charge going.
