It may have taken some time to find the right balance, but India appear to have finally locked in their best batting mix at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup. "Sanju got going soon after Abhishek absolutely smashed it, and that's something that we are so used to seeing. "Yes, a bit of a blip at the start of the World Cup, but when he comes good, India is always cruising to a fantastic scope." "We both complement each other really well, so very happy we could actually give India a great start today." "I always say that whatever team needs, I'm up for it," Varma said when asked about his preferred batting position.
