T20 World Cup 2024 : Former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan has created a sensation with his statement about Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav. Pathan said that Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav have made the Indian team disabled. Pathan has also given a complete clarification on this comment.
What does Irfan Pathan have to say?
The Indian team will play its first match in the T20 World Cup against Ireland on June 5. Pathan believes that the Indian team needs additional bowlers in the playing XI as Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav are not bowling and they have handicapped the team in this matter. Apart from this, there is no impact player rule in the T20 World Cup.
Pathan told the best team combination
Pathan said that Yashasvi Jaiswal should be included in the team because he can bowl as well as bat if needed. Two combinations can be made in the selected team. In the first team combination, you should play six bowlers including Akshar Patel to strengthen the batting order.
Pathan also gave the same advice
He further said, “Another team combination is that you play four key bowlers and hope that both Shivam Dubey and Hardik Pandya will bowl. Another option the Indian team has is a young bowler who bowls in the nets but does not bowl in matches, he is Yashasvi Jaiswal. Shivam Dubey had said during the IPL that he is bowling regularly in the nets, preparing to bowl one or two overs in the World Cup.
In such a situation the team will benefit
According to the former all-rounder, “If Hardik Pandya gives you the option of bowling three or four overs, this problem can be solved to a great extent. Our other batsmen like Rohit, Virat or Surya cannot bowl and that's how they are hampering us.” On if one of them could have bowled, Pathan said, “We talk about Australia, but England have multiple all-rounders in the top seven, it is always good to have Moeen Ali and Will Jacks and yes, we are definitely handicapped in this situation.
