India's 5 troubles over before the World Cup: Hardik fulfills all-rounder's lack, Surya fit at number-4; Kohli's backup was also found

Posted on 19th Jul 2022 by rohit kumar

Indian cricket team has not won any World Cup since 2011. In such a situation, it is expected that India will do wonders in the T20 World Cup to be held in October this year and will end the drought that has been coming for 11 years. For this, the team management has also been changed. Rohit Sharma has been given the captaincy and Rahul Dravid has been given the responsibility of coaching.

 

Recently, on the tour of England, the five problems of Team India, which have been going on for a long time, also seemed to be almost over.

 

India has won two worlds since 2007. One ODI and one T20 World Cup. Yuvraj Singh was made the Player of the Tournament in both. Yuvi's specialty was the explosive batting at number-4. Had the top order performed well, Yuvi would have taken the team to even greater heights by coming at No.4. If the top order had failed, Yuvraj used to handle the innings.

 

Since then till now the Indian team was searching for Yuvraj's replacement at number-4 in WHITE BALL cricket. During this, a total of 18 players, new and old, were tried on this number, but no one could prove himself even a quarter of Yuvraj. Now this trouble is over on the England tour. In Suryakumar Yadav, the team has got a strong player to bat at No.4. In the T20 series against the British, Surya scored 171 runs in three innings of three matches. It also had a scintillating century. Suryakumar is equally adept at playing both pace and spin.

 

Hardik met all-rounder's shortage

 

Hardik's back injury was not healing. He was unable to bowl. The Indian team gave him a chance till the T20 World Cup and then dropped him. The Mumbai Indians, whom he made champions many times, did not even wait for a season. Pandya was not retained. Pandya did not break it. Worked hard Corrected fitness and returned to the ground.

 

First, he made the new team Gujarat Titans champion in IPL-2022 as a captain, and then what a wonderful comeback he has made on the tour of England. In both the T20 series and the ODI series, Hardik has shown amazing with both his bat and the ball. He was the second highest run-scorer in the ODI series after Rishabh Pant. At the same time, in 3 matches, this player also took 6 wickets in his name. Who can forget his performance in the first T20 against the British? While batting, Hardik scored 51 runs in 33 balls. At the same time, when it came to bowling, 4 wickets were also taken and Team India won the match.

 

Hardik's return to the team has strengthened the middle order. Hardik has also ended the debate as to who will be India's all-rounder in the T20 World Cup. If a player also collects fifty in the same match and also takes four wickets, then who can be a better contender than him.

 

Kohli's backup Hooda

 

Virat Kohli was not part of the Indian team in the first three T20 matches of the Ireland-England tour. In his place, Deepak Hooda batted in the top order in these matches. Twice he came at number 3 and opened once. Hooda batted in these three matches at an average of 92 and a strike rate of 179. Another specialty of Hooda is that he can also bowl off-spin. That is, if Virat does not return to form soon and does not bat fast, then it can be very difficult for him to retain the number-3 spot.

 

The winning streak continues after Rohit Sharma took over as the captain.

 

After the T20 World Cup last year, Rohit Sharma was appointed the captain of Team India in T20 and ODI cricket. A few days later, Virat Kohli had also left the captaincy of the Test. After which this responsibility was also given to Rohit Sharma. So far, under his leadership, Team India has played seven series and all of them have been successful in making their names. Rohit Sharma has managed to lead India to victories in four T20Is, two ODIs, and one Test series.

 

Rohit Sharma has been rested from the three-match ODI series against West Indies to be played this month. However, he will return to the team for the five-match T20I series. In such a situation, it is clear that Rohit's entire focus is on the T20 World Cup.

 

Pant's power will also come in handy

 

Team India's wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant has shown amazing form on the England tour. For the last year, he has proved to be the best batsman for Team India by combining all three formats. He started this tour of England by scoring a century in the Birmingham Test and ended with a blistering century in the Manchester ODI. Pant has scored 1,287 runs in 36 international matches since July 1, 2021. These include three centuries.
