India’s biggest strength and weakness
T20 World Cup 2026 India’s biggest strength is its batting order. Batsmen up to number 8 are adept at batting. Initially, Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan, then Tilak Verma and Captain Suryakumar Yadav, apart from this, in the middle order, players like Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dubey, Rinku Singh and Akshar Patel can bat till number 8. At the same time, in bowling, along with Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, there are also mystery spinners Varun Chakraborty and Kuldeep Yadav. Indian team will also get strength from Mohammad Siraj in fast bowling. If we talk about India’s weakness, Harshit Rana was recently out of the series due to injury, hence his absence may be missed. In the last few series, the strike rate of Indian batsmen against spinners has been low, hence India needs to work in this direction.
