India continues with their T20 World Cup title-winning opening combination of Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson. Here's what the experts had to say "You can't drop Abhishek Sharma after he's scored a 50 off 20 balls in the World Cup final.
Samson just went crazy during the World Cup. His last three scores were 93 not out, 89 and 89. So you can't drop those people just because we are excited about the young boys," former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar said on the pre-match show with the broadcaster.
"India are doing the right thing and that's the right message. They have dropped a key World Cup-winning captain, Suryakumar Yadav. So India are now focused on cricketing merit, which is how it should always be. I'm glad they haven't got too carried away with the excitement around this young kid.
He can wait his turn, and he's got time on his hands."
