News India Live, Digital Desk: As the T20 World Cup is reaching its decisive turn (Super-8), Team India’s strategy seems to revolve around these three stalwarts. Experts believe that considering the poor form of a young opener like Abhishek Sharma and the team’s struggle against spin, the performance of these three will be ‘do or die’.
1. Ishan Kishan: ‘Responsibility for explosive start’
Ishan Kishan has returned to the team after a long gap of two years and he is in great form at the moment.
Why are they special: After Abhishek Sharma’s continuous flops, the onus is on Ishan to score quick runs in the powerplay. against Pakistan 77 runs in 40 balls His innings proved that he can change the course of the match even on difficult pitches.
Role: He is the only batsman in the team who is currently playing the spinners with ease.
2. Suryakumar Yadav: ‘The backbone of the middle order’
The Indian captain is not only leading the team but is also the most reliable batsman of the team at number-4.
Why are they special: When the top order faltered in the group stage, Surya took over the team by playing a captaincy inning of 84 runs* against USA.
Role: His ‘crazy shots’ against spin and his ability to understand the match situation make him the most dangerous player in the middle overs.
3. Jasprit Bumrah: ‘Magician of the Death Overs’
Bumrah’s very presence creates psychological pressure for the opposition team.
Why are they special: Even though India’s spin bowling (Varun Chakravarthy and Kuldeep) looks strong, according to Sanjay Bangar, “when the match is tied, Bumrah will be the key to victory for India.”
Role: Taking early wickets and controlling the run rate in the final overs. His accurate yorkers (like the one he hit to Ishan Kishan in the net session) are a testament to his dangerous form.
Expert Opinion
Former cricketer Sanjay Bangar JioStar Said on the show ‘Follow the Blues’:
“Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah—these three players are in their best form currently. In the Super-8 against teams like South Africa and West Indies, these three being ‘match-ready’ makes India a strong contender for the title.”
