T20 World Cup 2024: Four Major Challenges Team India May Face in the World Cup, Tough Questions Ahead

T20 World Cup 2024: The post-mortem of Team India is going on since the announcement of the Indian team on Tuesday for the T20 World Cup ( T20 World Cup 2024 ) to be held in the US and West Indies in June. Many veterans are saying something else, while others are saying something else, but along with this there are some serious questions which are standing with their mouths open. The ease with which captain Rohit Sharma answered in the press conference is not going to be that easy. Especially after the Indian team reaches the Super-8 round, these questions will become more tough and difficult. Let us tell you about these difficult questions one by one.

1. What will bowler Hardik do?

Hardik’s batting for the Indians has been such that after ten matches his average is 21.88. Hardik has been selected because of his ability, but the question is what will Hardik do as a bowler? In the IPL, he has bowled 23 overs in ten matches. That means less than two and a half overs per match. And he has taken 6 wickets in this. In such a situation, if we leave aside Pandya’s form of the bat, the question is whether Hardik will complete his quota of four overs in every match? And if he does, will he be able to do justice in terms of performance?

2. Will the quota of the fifth bowler become a formality?

Regarding Shivam Dubey, who is being called Hardik’s replacement, Rohit said that he will be made to bowl a few overs. Chennai did not use Shivam Dubey as a bowler in the entire IPL. He bowls, is bowling and bowling wicket-taking or is taking wickets, all these are different things. According to the combination, the quota of the fifth over seems to be divided between Hardik, Dubey and Ravindra Jadeja. Here Jadeja has the upper hand, but in the attempt to make a better combination, the quota of the fifth over seems to be weak. And this can be missed a lot in the Super-8 round. 

 
3. Will the lack of pacers be a problem? 

Mohammad Siraj’s performance in the ongoing Indian Premier League is in front of everyone. Siraj has taken only 9 wickets in 6 matches. It is true that keeping in mind the pitches of the Windies, India has selected four spinners, but Siraj’s form is a matter of concern. And if his performance does not improve, or the pitch is completely different, then India may face the lack of a pacer at the other end. 

4. Rohit will have to find his form soon

Rohit has disappointed a lot in IPL so far on India’s flat pitches. He has also been involved in recent controversies, which may affect his mood, but the captaincy of India is a big reason for motivation. So far Rohit has been able to average only 35.00 in 10 matches. Different pitches will be available in the West Indies. There are comparatively weak teams in the initial rounds. In such a situation, Rohit will have to regain form in time. Especially before the match against Pakistan.
