Madan Lal said – a player’s performance cannot make a world champion

Virat Kohli’s memorable innings helped India beat Pakistan to begin their campaign in the T20 World Cup, but 1983 World Cup Indian hero Madan Lal said the team needed to depend on one or two players to become world champions. Should not stay Kohli led the team to victory on his own against Pakistan at the historic Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday.

His unbeaten 82 off 53 balls is being regarded as one of the best in the format. Former India coach Madan Lal feels India’s openers need to be given a solid start. Lal said in an interview to ‘PTI-Bhasha’, “Virat Kohli’s innings was amazing. I have never seen such an innings but he is not going to win you every match. This is a very big tournament. It cannot be won by one person.

“Australian pitches suit Kohli’s game. He steals one, two and three runs in the middle with the ball being sent across the boundary line with great use of the big grounds. Very strong mentally. “Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul will have to raise the level of their game. Everyone needs to make sure that they are giving their best performance and effort at all times. And every match will have different heroes.

The former all-rounder said what India achieved against Pakistan deserves praise but there is no room for laxity in such a big tournament. “India’s work is not done yet. The journey has just begun. Even teams like Netherlands are not weak teams. Any team can beat any team in T20. ,

“When you win the tournament, you can say that the mission is accomplished and you have worked as an Indian team,” he said. It has to be decided accordingly and not in view of the reputation of the players. “India should choose its XI according to its opponents. They should play their fast bowlers and spinners accordingly. The selection of playing XI cannot be done on a single criterion.

He advocated the inclusion of Rishabh Pant in the Indian XI. Dinesh Karthik was in the playing XI against Pakistan, while Pant was sitting outside. Lal said, “Pant is such a player who should be fed at any cost. If he is part of the team in five matches, he will win you two matches on his own. It is enough. You should think of giving him a chance for five-six matches.
