Former Indian star Sunil Gavaskar has opened up about the concerning form of Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul.

Although Rohit Sharma bounced back with an impressive knock against the Netherlands, KL Rahul is yet to demonstrate his qualities in the T20 World Cup 2022. 

Both players struggled in the match against Pakistan last week and they will need to get over their slump in order for India to do well in the tournament. 

The Men in Blue are well placed to make it to the semi-finals of the World Cup but they will need their strength in depth to go all the way and win the showpiece event this year. 

Rohit and Rahul have shown their world class qualities in the past and it would be a huge boost for India if their openers manage to get back in rhythm ahead of the business end of the tournament. 

It has been a while since Rahul has hit top form and the Indian opener is under tremendous pressure to produce the goods. 

Former World Cup winner Sunil Gavaskar said (h/t News18)

"It’s so good to see Rohit Sharma get some runs the other day, it’s so good to see Arshdeep bowling the way he did. Ashwin and Axar Patel got some wickets. So, everybody who didn’t have a great match against Pakistan, have come back well.

“Now the only concern maybe would be around KL Rahul, who didn’t score too many runs in both matches. But he is a class act."
