Is the Indian Cricket Team and T20 World Cup 2022 on the verge of speculation?
Cricket fans will enjoy the T20 World Cup, which will begin very soon. T20 cricket is a celebration for all cricket lovers.
Due to the impending T20 World Cup, the sport of cricket, which reaches its pinnacle of popularity during the months of December and January, is making more of a splash than usual.
In my opinion, to be very honest, India has a 6–7/10 probability of winning this World Cup T20.
Both the benefits and the drawbacks need to be discussed. Let’s have a look at them.
Positive Side
Virat Kohli
Just when we were beginning to question how much longer Kohli had left in the game, he seemed to have found his form. Even if he doesn’t end up being the best batter of 2016, he seems talented enough to at least build some important partnerships with the other hitters.
Suryakumar Yadav
Even if he did not have a fantastic performance at the Asia Cup, he had a wonderful performance in the matches that came before and after that tournament. Because of his hundred against England as well as his two to three fifties scored against Australia and South Africa, he has established himself as India’s number four batsman in this WC T20.
Great power play bowling
There have been several matches in which our bowling has caused complete and utter chaos for the opponent, even before the power play has begun. This is a really positive development for our group. The majority of the time, Deepak Chahar, Arshdeep Singh, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar have performed well on the power play.
Opportunity-seeking ability
In my opinion, India has maintained a solid overall record while attempting to chase totals. Because Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav are playing so well, it seems that we have an excellent chance of victory when we are chasing totals.
Having stated that, let’s get into the downsides.
Negative Side
Poor death bowling
I don’t want to offend readers, but India’s bowling in the death overs is terrible. In all honesty, this should be of the utmost concern. Especially losing 20–25 runs in the 19th over, giving up boundaries like our bowlers are in elementary school, etc. This is a significant cause for worry, particularly in light of the fact that Jasprit Bumrah is not present.
Defending totals
While defending totals, especially massive ones, India’s bowling has been subpar in recent contests. They were knocked out of the Asia Cup because they couldn’t defend 237 against South Africa, 208–211 against Australia, and 170–180 against Pakistan and Sri Lanka in must-win games.
Uncertain form of openers
On the pitch, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul are both major question marks. While Rohit bats strongly but is usually out in the 20s or 30s, KL has lost his wicket for low scores on occasion. If the Rahul, Kohli, and Suryakumar Yadav lineup ever falters, Rohit will need to bat for a long time.
Uncertain middle order
It looks like there is some inconsistency in the midst of the list. In one game, they play like seasoned veterans; in the next, they get out for an average of 20–25 runs. Without Jadeja, we take a major hit.
Rishabh Pant/Dinesh Karthik
Who will go first in the game? Pant seems to be a risk in T20 Internationals at the moment. I can’t think of any recent T20 International innings that he played that was really noteworthy. Despite all of the excitement that has surrounded Karthik, he has only delivered ordinary results. In spite of the fact that both Dinesh Karthik and Rishabh Pant are capable wicketkeepers, I feel more comfortable playing Dinesh Karthik ahead of Rishabh Pant because of Dinesh Karthik‘s more relaxed demeanour.
Final Thoughts
From my perspective, India’s odds are about the same as everyone else’s. Given these issues, one cannot but feel pessimistic about the men in blue.
But let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope they can surprise us at the T20.
