Sastry provided the stability in the opening and there was never a need to score fast as India always restricted the opponenets with in 200. Kapil scored fast in only one match against Newzeland and we could still win that match comfortably even without scoring that fast, as Vengsarkar was already settled on the other end after foundation of Sastry. In addition, we had Gavaskar, Amarnath and Kirmani yet to bat. All players of that team played as per needs. One paradim is that only those who score fast are treated as contributors. we need to change that.
