His starts are awfully slow, really really slow at times in fact.

And he has the game to make up for it, which he does more often than not, considering his average of over 60 to go along with that 97 strike rate. 

 

India right now needs their top order players to score big runs. They're not an England with a strong middle order that can afford their openers to hit out or get out with the knowledge that their team bats deep.

[R!TTER]

You could argue the Eng openers give middle order enough breathing space to get set & then explode at the end, but when one of your openers goes slow & gets out before hitting out you'll always put strain on the MO & lower order especially. Against non minnows -
