Team India has not been able to become a champion even once after 2007 in the T20 World Cup, the biggest tournament of the shortest format of cricket. Indian cricket fans have high hopes for the eighth edition of this tournament, which started on 16 October. The biggest reason for this is captain Rohit Sharma. Rohit led India to Asia Cup in 2018 under his leadership and has made his IPL team Mumbai champion 5 times.
At the same time, there is another player from the team from whom a lot of expectations are being placed. He is wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant. He alone can change the course of any match on his own. Bhaskar had a special conversation with Rohit Sharma's coach Dinesh Lad and Rishabh Pant's coach Devendra Sharma and wanted to know from them which teams are strong in the World Cup this time. How the performance of the Indian team can be and from which players they expect more was also discussed.
Question: Looking at the condition of Australia, how different will this time's World Cup and last year's World Cup in UAE be?
Rohit's coach - In a big tournament, the conditions don't matter. The pressure of the World Cup and the opportunities present in it outweigh all the other factors. Yes, Australia's team will get the benefit of playing at home. All the teams including India, and Pakistan have gone and performed well in Australia. There won't be much problem for any team there. There are quick wickets there, but the ball hits the bat better. I don't think anyone will have more problems with the condition.
Pant's coach - There is a lot of difference between the condition of UAE and Australia. The ball will bounce more on the Australian pitch. In such a situation, the fast bowlers will get the advantage.
Question- Due to the absence of Bumrah, the bowling of Team India is considered weak, how will the team be able to overcome this?
Rohit's coach - I would not say that a big problem has arisen due to the absence of Bumrah. Yes, he is a great T20 bowler. In this case, there can be a little bit of plus-minus. The team also has Mohammed Shami and other bowlers. There is also Arshdeep, who bowls brilliantly in the death overs. He has shown excellent bowling in the 18th and 20th overs of the IPL.
The absence of Pant's coach- Bumrah is a big setback for Team India. He is the main strike bowler of Team India. Mohammed Shami has gone in his place. His ball has a surprising bounce. This is a good option. It is not that India's team has become weak due to the absence of Bumrah. Shami's arrival won't make much difference.
Question- Which four teams are the strong contenders for the semi-finals?
Rohit's coach - Can't say in T20 which are your four favorite teams. Anything can happen in this format. Watch Namibia beat Sri Lanka in the very first match. Sri Lanka became the champion in the Asia Cup by defeating teams like India and Pakistan.
Yes, Australia is strong along with India, Pakistan, and England. These four teams are more likely to reach the semi-finals.
Pant's coach- India, Australia, New Zealand, and England, these four teams can reach the semi-finals. Team India's batting is strong. Overall, India's batting will dominate in the entire World Cup. Australia, New Zealand, and England have good all-rounders. If you want to win in T20, then the number 11 batsman should also be such that he can also score 20-30 runs after coming in the end.
Question- Who will score the most runs for Team India?
Rohit's coach - can be anyone. In T20, you have your day. The day your bat goes, you score a run. In this format, you can't wait to go to the wicket. You have to play big shots with the very first ball.
There is Warner, there is Babar Azam, there is Rohit and there is Suryakumar. The way he is batting, one of them can be the top run scorer. Many new England batsmen are also good. The same cannot be said about either one.
Pant's coach- may be Rohit Sharma. If Rishabh Pant takes frequent chances, he can be there too.
Question- Who should get a chance in the playing 11 between Pant and Dinesh Karthik?
Depends on Rohit's coach- team management. Both are batting well. In the last series with South Africa, Karthik batted well. Yes, when the team management feels that there is a need for a left-handed batsman, then maybe give them a chance to Pant. I think depending on the circumstances of the match, the decision to include either of the two in the playing will be taken.
Pant's coach- Pant's performance in Australia has been excellent. I think he should be given the first chance as he will do well according to the conditions there. Dinesh Karthik can be sent to number 6 or 7 by getting Pant to open. Pant is currently opening in the practice matches as well.
Now the team management has to decide how it uses these two. I think both should be given a chance. Not feeding Pant will hurt the team. He is a match-winner. He has played an important role in the team-winning series in Australia and England.
