The Hindustan Times' Anand Vasu speaks to another Indian pair making a noise in New Zealand, and this time it is the opening pair of Rahul Kannaur and Mayank Agarwal. Both Bangalore boys, one has modelled his game on Virender Sehwag and the other idolises Rahul Dravid.
"It's great to be compared to the player you've looked up to all your life," says Kannaur, even speaking a language that's uncannily similar to his idol. "I think of it as an honour to be compared to one of the best players India has ever produced.""The timing and aggression are a gift I've been given by God," says Agarwal.
