Team India’s fate is no longer in their own hands, as Aakash Chopra has pointed out, and they are reliant on other results to reach the T20 World Cup 2021 semi-finals.
As a result, both Pakistan and New Zealand humiliated India, and the Indian team has yet to score in the tournament. As a result, to advance to the knockout stages. They must win their final three games and hope for favorable results elsewhere.
“Nothing is easy, to win a match in the World Cup, now I see all the matches as difficult. We have lost to Pakistan and New Zealand. Our fate is hanging by a very thin thread. We have already put our lives’ remote control in others’ hands.” He elaborated
“I am still saying India will win but is it actually a cakewalk. There are no games that are cakewalks in this World Cup as far as we are concerned. The toss will be in focus again. But do you still need the toss to defeat Afghanistan? Toss is important but it is not the be-all and end-all.” Chopra observed
For the first time in the competition, Team India will hope that Virat Kohli wins the toss and they get to chase. With Afghanistan’s preference for designating objectives, the coin toss may be meaningless.
Mohammad Nabi
Team India will have their work cut out for them against the likes of Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, and Mohammad Nabi, according to Aakash Chopra.
“Afghanistan is a serious threat. Take them lightly at your own peril. If we were stuck in front of Shadab, Ish and Santner, there will be three excellent spinners here. If Mujeeb is fit, our story is going to be very difficult.” He reasoned
The 44-year-old concluded by stating that the Afghanistan batters could also pose a serious challenge to Team India.
“Afghanistan have batsmen who like to play the big shots. Their batsmen don’t have any timidness. They do have a very decent batting lineup. They will keep on attacking. If a guy is there for 30 balls, he will kill you.” Chopra said
Apart from their batting problems, Team India’s bowling has also been a disappointment. To contain Afghanistan’s big-hitters, they’ll need their bowlers to be at the top of their game.
