Ishant Sharma, the former Indian fast bowler, has expressed optimism that India could win the trophy based on their excellent performances in the whole tournament.
England will be looking to replicate what happened in 2022 semis at this year’s T20 World Cup when they beat India.
It should also be noted that Jos Buttler and Phil Salt are a formidable pair for England who are defending champions. However, Ishant Sharma emphasized some of India’s winning streaks and other matches such as Rohit Sharma contributing 92 runs off just 41 balls against Australia which showed how strong the team has become.
“I am delighted by our stunning performance throughout the tournament that led us to six victories in a row. I must also credit my boys for their fantastic show. Rohit played an extraordinary innings of 92 runs from just 41 balls, he took apart Australian bowlers with some other batters and therefore, there were runs all around the ground as required. These plans were perfectly executed by us,” Ishant said during his interview on Caught and Bold show on Disney+ Hotstar via ANI.
Consequently, we cannot forget to mention other star performers like Arshdeep who took three wickets including David Warner who was very dangerous. Being a captain, Rohit deserves accolades as well due to his excellent tactics displayed versus Australia where he set up a trap with Bumrah which got Travis Head out thus stopping him from scoring freely throughout thereby bringing us victory in this game. Such moments were fascinating when India humbled Australia.What is more important now is sustaining this form for ICC Men’s T20 World Cup (ANI).
In the last game between them during the semi-final of T20 World Cup 2022, England won over India through an opening partnership between Jos Buttler and Alex Hales which led to ten-wicket victory.
Following this result, there was a complete overhaul of strategy within Indian cricket with emphasis on youth as well as aggression. They have a rejuvenated Indian side in the ongoing tournament with a strong batting line up and flexible attack including experienced players like Rohit Sharma ably supported by Virat Kohli.
India has remained unbeaten in this ongoing T20 World Cup campaign. However, it will be fascinating to observe how they cope with possible overcast conditions at Providence Stadium in Guyana.
