Team India SWOT Analysis: What are India’s strengths and weaknesses for the T20 World Cup, know everything here
Team India has not won a single World Cup after 2011. Team India (Photo Source: X/Twitter) The fever of IPL 2024 is over and now the eyes of cricket fans are on the T20 World Cup. The Indian team has reached USA for the T20 World Cup and is preparing for this ICC event with full vigor. The Indian team has not won any ICC trophy for the last 11 years. In such a situation, there is only one question in everyone’s mind at this time whether the Indian team will be able to win the T20 World Cup title this time. The team selected by the selectors for this T20 World Cup looks great on paper. But whether these players will be able to end India’s drought of ICC trophy or not is a big question. In this article today we will tell you about India’s team for T20 World Cup (SWOT Analysis) We will talk about what is the biggest strength and where mistakes can happen. Strength (India’s biggest strength) Team India has an army of experienced and young players India’s biggest strength in the T20 World Cup 2024 is their experienced players. Captain Rohit Sharma is one of those players who has played all the 8 seasons of the T20 World Cup so far and with him there are players like Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, so there is no dearth of experience. All of them have long experience of T20 cricket, as well as an understanding of the situation in the West Indies. However, the Indian team is playing in America for the first time. In such a situation, India is considered a strong contender to win the World Cup. For the top order, India has players like captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli who can take the team out of any pressure situation and when it comes to playing aggressive cricket, the team has players like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dubey who can hit fours and sixes from the very first ball. However, it will be interesting to see who will be included in the playing eleven. Weakness (India’s biggest weakness) While Team India has a very strong top order, the question is who will play the role of finisher now? There seems to be some weakness in the case of finisher. Players like Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson, Shivam Dubey bat in the top 5 for their respective teams in IPL. Hardik Pandya’s bat has also been completely silent this year. Ravindra Jadeja’s performance as a finisher in T20 has not been such that he can be trusted. In such a situation, this can be a matter of concern for the Indian team. Opportunities (Which player will have the chance) The Indian team for the World Cup is balanced in terms of experience and ability. Yashasvi Jaiswal performed brilliantly in red ball cricket during the England series and now he has the best chance to make a similar impact in white ball cricket. It will be interesting…
