Nagpur, March 11: It takes a brave captain to demand more runs from Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag, but that's just what India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni is doing.
Dhoni wants the World Cup openers, two of the world's best batsmen, to produce bigger partnerships at the World Cup.
Dhoni told reporters Friday that he wants India to get "bigger opening partnerships so that the middle order and the lower middle-order can use its explosive power well" in coming games.
India is virtually through to the quarterfinals and next takes on South Africa on Saturday.
Tendulkar and Sehwag have slammed a century each in the tournament, but are yet to figure in a century stand with partnerships of 69, 46, 9 and 69 so far. AP
