Questions arising on opening order
Former Indian assistant coach Abhishek Nair highlighted the problems of India’s opening pair in the Super-8. Questions were raised especially on the batting in the powerplay against off-spin bowling. Ishan Kishan is India’s second highest run-getter in this tournament. He has scored 176 runs in 5 matches with an average of 35.20. At the same time, world number-1 batsman Abhishek has been able to score only 15 runs and has three ducks to his name. Nair told JioHotstar that off-spinners can extract different bounce from the new ball, which makes playing aggressive strokes risky. He warned that teams like West Indies may come up with strategic changes in the initial overs.
Different strategy needed against off spinners
Nair said, ‘It will be an uncomfortable discussion between Ishan Kishan and Abhishek Sharma as to who will take the strike. Zero’s burden has suddenly shifted to Ishaan, but this is a problem for India. He will have to make a new strategy against off-spinners, especially against West Indies.
India lost after 12 consecutive matches
South Africa defeated India by 76 runs in Ahmedabad on Sunday, breaking the defending champions’ 12-match unbeaten streak. After this defeat, India’s chances of reaching the semi-finals have become complicated. Now the Indian team will have to win the remaining two matches and keep the net run rate better, so that they can save themselves in the T20 World Cup 2026. India’s next Super-8 match is against Zimbabwe (India vs Zimbabwe) on Thursday at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.
