Bad news: Will India lose the match against SA? What happened a few hours before the final that created an atmosphere of fear
Former all-rounder of the 1983 World Cup winning team, Kirti Azad, has shared his thoughts on India’s game plan for the final. South Africa (Pic SOURCE-X) IND vs SA Final: The final match of T20 World Cup 2024 between India and South Africa (IND vs SA Final) will be played in Barbados on Saturday 29 July. Team India is just 1 match away from ending its 11-year trophy drought. However, winning the trophy is not going to be that easy because Team India is facing a big team like South Africa. Let us tell you that South Africa is always called chokers. This is because they play well throughout the tournament but get eliminated in the semi-finals. Till date, they have not been able to reach the final in the history of T20 World Cup, this is their first final. In such a situation, the fear is that South Africa has broken its label of chokers. At the same time, the story of Team India losing in most of the finals is haunting the fans that South Africa may win this T20 World Cup. Keep this plan in the final against South Africa: Kirti Azad Former all-rounder of the 1983 World Cup winning team, Kirti Azad, has shared his thoughts on India’s game plan for the final. “It is very difficult to talk about South Africa because they will be playing in the final of any ICC tournament for the first time. They were also called chokers because they always lost in the semi-finals, so it will be difficult to predict how they will perform in the final. But yes, they will do their best to win and India will have to be careful that they do not become overconfident and we do not lose. The hope is that we put up a good score.” Kirti Azad further said for IND vs SA Final- “As we saw the pitches last time in the semi-finals, the ball was not bouncing much and was staying low. We have to be careful and give them a good target. We have to make South Africa choke.” “I was confident that the way the Indian team is, we will perform well and win the World Cup. The performance of all the players has been excellent, especially bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel are bowling well. India’s bowling attack is the best. The biggest plus point for our team is Rohit’s batting.”

India reached the final by defeating England in the semi-finals. At the same time, South Africa defeated Afghanistan in the semi-finals and reached the final for the first time. The South African team has a chance to win the ICC trophy for the first time. At the same time, the Indian team led by Rohit Sharma will enter the field with the intention of ending the 11-year drought. Team India has failed to win any ICC tournament for nearly 11 years. Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, the team has reached the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2022, the finals of the ODI World Cup 2023 and the finals of the World Test Championship. Rohit Sharma showed a different kind of game this time Like every time, Rohit Sharma did not play only as a captain in this tournament. In this year’s World Cup, Rohit’s batting has saved the team in important matches. While Rohit’s half-century in the semi-finals was important for the team, his innings of 92 runs in 41 balls against Australia in the Super Eight stage was astonishing. Let us tell you that, Rohit has so far scored 248 runs in seven matches at an average of 41.33 and a strike rate of 155.97, which includes three half-centuries. Rohit’s performance is being praised a lot and in this context, Indian cricketer Piyush Chawla has also said a few things. Piyush Chawla has also made big statements in praise of Rohit Sharma. Let’s read- Speaking to Star Sports, Piyush Chawla lauded Rohit’s leadership qualities and how India are on their way to winning the T20 World Cup final this time. Chawla said- “The way Rohit has set an example, I have said earlier that he is not a captain but a leader. When a leader sets an example, others follow and that is what is happening in this Indian team.” “We have seen that India are not just dependent on one or two players in this tournament. Everyone is performing and contributing, which is very important. They have performed well to ensure this success, and this shows how high the confidence is.” Every player has contributed to #TeamIndia‘s success equally, and our expert, #PiyushChawla believes that #RohitSharma has expertly led his team to remain unbeaten in #T20WorldCup2024 don’t miss the big #Final #INDvSA | TODAY, 6 PM | #T20WorldCupOnStar pic.twitter.com/JRyQfW74e6 — Star Sports (@StarSportsIndia) June 29, 2024

Kohli’s form doesn’t matter, because… for the first time, Sanjay Manjrekar’s words will seem absolutely correct
Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has said that he is not worried about Virat Kohli’s current form. Virat Kohli Sanjay Manjrekar (Photo Source: X/Twitter) The T20 World Cup final between India and South Africa will be played on Saturday 29 June at Kensington Oval in Barbados. Virat fans are worried whether their star batsman will show form in the final match or not. It is worth noting that Virat Kohli is going through a very bad form in this T20 World Cup 2024. Kohli’s bat, which spewed fire in IPL 2024, is not able to work its magic in this mega tournament. If we look at Virat Kohli’s contribution in this year’s World Cup, he has scored only 75 runs for the team in seven matches. In the semi-final of the T20 World Cup i.e. India vs England, Kohli could score only 9 runs. In that match, Kohli was having difficulty in touching the ball with his bat. Fans and Team India would like him to do something amazing in the final match. But there is a possibility that Kohli’s bat will fail once again in the final match of the World Cup. Team India is not worried about Virat Kohli’s form Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has said that he has no concerns about Virat Kohli’s current form. Let’s read his full statement – “I am not worried about Virat Kohli’s form, because the form of the entire team is more important. Of course India will win the T20 World Cup 2024. India has played T20 cricket in a modern way and the result is that they are in the final.” Sanjay Manjrekar believes that this time captain Rohit Sharma has led Team India with a very fearless approach. In such a situation, he feels that this new strategy will get India their World Cup trophy after a long time. Which 3 South African players will be a threat to India? Sanjay Manjrekar has named South African fast bowlers Anrique Norkhia, Kagiso Rabada, and Quinton de Kock as the biggest threat to India.
T20 World Cup: Know how many runs Rohit Sharma has scored in the T20 World Cup final?
India is going to face South Africa in the T20 World Cup final. Rohit Sharma (Pic Source-X) Rohit Sharma in T20 World Cup Final: When India faces South Africa in the final match of the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, Team India will want to win the title under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma.

For the middle order, they have included USA’s Aaron Jones, Australia’s Marcus Stoinis and India’s Hardik Pandya. Hardik Pandya has scored more than 100 runs and taken 8 wickets in this World Cup. Talking about the bowling attack of Cricket Australia’s Team of the Tournament, they have selected Bangladesh’s Rishad Hussain as spinner along with Rashid Khan.

T20 World Cup 2024: Before the final, Krishnamachari Srikkanth compared Rohit Sharma to Kapil Dev, read the big news
The final match between India and South Africa will be played today on 29th June. Kris Srikkanth and Rohit Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter X) This is the third time under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy that the Indian cricket team has reached the finals of ICC tournaments. Rohit took over the reins of the team after Virat Kohli, and after that not only he but the team also started playing aggressive cricket. On the other hand, ahead of India’s final match with South Africa in the ongoing T20 World Cup, former Indian player and 1983 World Cup champion Krishnamachari Srikkanth has been seen comparing Rohit Sharma with former captain and legendary all-rounder Kapil Dev, under whose captaincy India won the World Cup for the first time. Srikanth compared Rohit to Kapil Let us tell you that in a discussion with Star Sports before India’s match against South Africa, Srikkanth said – I do not like to compare cricket eras and captains, but I have brought for you a similarity between the 1983 World Cup and this World Cup. In this World Cup, see who is leading the team as a leader. As a leader, Rohit Sharma said, I will lead, I will play risky shots. He has played some great shots and great innings so far. Kapil did something similar at that time. Srikkanth further said- As a team, you need every player. Be it Rishabh Pant, Suryakumar or even Akshar Patel’s 10-12 runs. The best thing is that he (Rohit) is using his bowlers properly. He captained brilliantly against England, and brought in Axar Patel in the fourth over, and he took the big wicket of Jos Buttler. This is the same thing that Kapil Dev did. Everyone is contributing to the success of the team.
