Opening Set of two Shikhar Dhawan-Rohit Sharma Try to Be Effective When compared with Tendulkar-Ganguly.


Shikhar Dhawan has set the bar higher for himself and opening partner Rohit Sharma. Dhawan and Rohit have proved to be India's most successful opening pair since the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy. Now, the left-hander believes they are good enough to go past the likes of Sachin Tendulkar-Sourav Ganguly pair as far as records go. Ahead of the Asia Cup, the 30-year-old said that Rohit and he had come to understand each other as batsmen and could go on to get a lot of runs at the top of the order. What is interesting is the fact that both Dhawan and Rohit improved as batsmen after being given the opening slot. Their averages and scores shot up when they got to face the new ball. A comparison can be drawn here how Tendulkar and Ganguly became better players after taking over as openers. Will Dhawan and Rohit be able to leave behind a legacy like their predecessors? Only time will tell. What remains to be seen is how long they can keep up their good form. After all, cricket is a game of uncertainties. For now, India can relax as they have two aggressive batsmen to lead them in the limited-over formats. One can only hope they feed off each others' success and go on to create new records in the future.
