“Both are very good and classy players and they have done well in the past too , as the records say. I do believe Kohli and Rohit will do fairly well in the World Cup. In ODI format, they have always been pretty consistent,” said Azharuddin.
Virat Kohli who recently came back in form has smashed two consecutive ODI centuries. On the other hand, Indian captain Rohit Sharma who was injured while playing against Bangladesh made a comeback in the first ODI against Sri Lanka and scored 83 runs in 67 balls. India won that match by 67 runs.

Azhar also spoke on Rahul stating that the right-handed batter needs to work on his technical flaws. The 57-year-old Azhar, whose elegant wrist work made him a cynosure of cricket fans, is a bit disappointed that a player of Rahul’s talent isn’t realising his full potential.
“I think consistency is the problem in KL Rahul’s case. But I think there are coaches who should rectify his flaws. In my opinion, he is a good player but consistency is missing in his game. “I think Rahul is getting out in a lot of manners. Primarily, it is not the good balls that are getting him out. It is poor shot selection first up that is causing problems,” said Azhar.
