Former India Player Slams Team’s Recent Poor Performance. Former India player Aakash Chopra believes that India’s chances of winning the 2022 T20 World Cup, which begins in mid-October, have been harmed by this bowling lineup.
Following a lackluster performance at the Asia Cup, India’s cricket squad began their bilateral T20I series against Australia on a losing note on Tuesday. India lost the match by four wickets after posting 208/6 batting first. Bhuvneshwar Kumar (4-0-52-0), Harshal Patel (4-0-49-0), Yuzvendra Chahal (3.2-0-42-1), Umesh Yadav (2-0-27-2), Hardik Pandya (2-0-22-0) all leaked runs. Former India player Aakash Chopra believes that India’s chances of winning the 2022 T20 World Cup, which begins in mid-October, have been harmed by this bowling lineup.

Aakash Chopra Slams Team’s Recent Poor Performance
“We’re saying Harshal will return, Bumrah will return, and everything will be well.” That is not how it works. This is the unfortunate fact of life. Bumrah was a member of the Mumbai Indians team; others did not do well, and we all know what happened to MI this year. “You can take five to six wickets in one match, but you won’t get as many wickets the rest of the days,” Aakash Chopra remarked on his YouTube channel.
“Indian bowling appears to be quite feeble to me, with no wicket-taking alternatives in sight.” Yuzi Chahal’s bowling speed continues to improve. He’s not bowling any slower balls. The same thing happened in Asia Cup. How are you going to gain wickets if you don’t bowl slower?
“The fact is that India has a mediocre bowling attack. With this lineup, the team’s chances of winning the World Cup diminish. Things are going to be challenging if you can’t protect 208. Remember that this Australian side is without four of its key players.”
On Friday, India will play Australia in the second One-Day International (ODI) at Nagpur.
