Former India batsman Sanjay Manjrekar believes that India’s performance in the group stages of the World Cup won’t be as crucial as the impact of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the knockout stages.

Manjrekar, known for his insightful commentary, has highlighted the importance of defining knocks from the two stalwarts in high-pressure situations. He emphasizes that if Rohit and Kohli deliver when it matters most, the group league scores will become irrelevant.

“If Rohit and Kohli click in the knockouts, then the group league scores won’t matter. They have the experience and temperament to deliver under pressure, and that is what will define India’s journey in the tournament,” Manjrekar stated.

India’s batting lineup is heavily reliant on the form of Rohit and Kohli, and their performances will play a pivotal role in the team’s success. With their proven ability to win matches single-handedly, they are expected to shoulder the responsibility of delivering in the crucial knockout games.

Manjrekar’s statement has sparked debate among fans and pundits. While some believe that consistent performance throughout the tournament is vital, others agree that the impact of Rohit and Kohli in the knockout stages will be the defining factor.

Only time will tell if Manjrekar’s prediction will come true, but it’s clear that India’s hopes of World Cup glory heavily depend on the performance of their two batting superstars.
