India's T20 World Cup Squad: Key Players to Watch
The T20 World Cup is approaching in a few months, and India enters the tournament as one of the favorites, being the defending champions with a well-balanced team.
R. Ashwin’s Insights on Players Opponents Fear Most
Former Indian cricketer R. Ashwin highlighted two players who he believes will be most feared by opposing teams in India's squad: Abhishek Sharma and Varun Chakravarthy. Surprisingly, Ashwin did not include Jasprit Bumrah in this list.
"So far, I was saying that handling Jasprit Bumrah is critical, but I would now say, from what I have seen, Tim David handled Varun Chakravarthy. I am thinking teams will go for Abhishek Sharma and Varun Chakravarthy if they have to get past India. Against Abhishek Sharma, we will definitely see in this series the plan that is made, and they will definitely invite that. Whatever teams are coming, they will come prepared for the World Cup. Similarly, against Varun Chakravarthy, because that will give them leverage in that T20 World Cup."
Preparation for the World Cup
Teams are expected to prepare well against key players like Abhishek Sharma and Varun Chakravarthy, as their performances could be pivotal in India's quest to retain the title.
India’s balanced lineup combined with such impactful players boosts their chances significantly in the upcoming World Cup.
