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.”
Jaiswal is troubled by the fear of being dropped from the Test team, that is why he is praising captain Rohit a lot.
He further said, “Rohit Sharma helps me maintain a positive mindset, and we need to score runs quickly against the new ball. I just wanted to give a good start and that was all I had in mind because we had to win the match.”
