Coming into the knockouts, if they play a defining innings in a semi-final or the final to win the title, that’s the kind of expectation you must have from your senior players. “If a youngster comes to the fore, that’s a bonus like it happened in 1992 with Pakistan, with Inzamam-ul-Haq. It’s the seniors who have to make the major contribution and that is why I guess selectors go for experience in T20 World Cup or World Cups generally.”

Manjrekar, who has played 37 Tests and 74 ODIs, is one of the most respected cricket analysts and when asked about the legendary duo’s future in T20Is post World Cup, he felt that it could be answered by the players themselves or the national chairman of selectors. “I think it’s a question best asked to chairman of selectors what their plans are and the two individuals can tell what their plans are and how the selection committee is going to be thinking and I think there’s fair bit left in the tournament before they start thinking on those lines,” the Mumbaikar said.
