Exclusive interview of Oman captain Jatinder Singh
Even though India and Oman’s competition in the Asia Cup is being considered unilateral, this match is very special for Omani players. The reason for this is his conflict with his own friends. Oman captain Jatinder Singh interacted with the TV9 network before the match and he said which batsman is the biggest threat to his team. The interesting thing is that this biggest threat is Jatinder Singh’s own friend. Jatinder Singh revealed that the biggest threat to Oman is opener Abhishek Sharma and he will try his best to stop him.
Will Oman’s team be able to beat India?

Jatinder said that Oman’s infrastructure is excellent. Jatinder told that he has excellent facilities for practice, and he has two grounds which are really good. Jatinder further said that he just needs to focus on gaining experience by playing more cricket.

Jatinder’s father Royal Oman works as a carpenter in the police. When Jatinder reached Oman, he focused on playing cricket there and he is captaining the national team today.
Batting is a matter of concern for us
Oman’s team has already been out before 2025 after the defeat in two consecutive league matches against Pakistan and UAE. Captain Jatinder Singh told his team’s biggest drawback batting. Jatinder said that in the last two matches, he has done very well in bowling and fielding, but batting is still a matter of concern for him.
