Both Rohit, who will turn 39 later this month, and Kohli (37) may not have exactly set the stadiums afire, but they have made reasonably good starts to the season, striking at around 168-180, with each scoring a half-century in the three matches their sides have played. On a traditionally flat, high-scoring Wankhede deck where the dew factor is expected to play a massive role in the second innings, fans should brace for a potential 200-plus run thriller.
