Areas of Concern

India suffered a huge blow when pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah was ruled out of the World Cup with a back injury, further depleting the stocks of a side that has lacked steam in the final overs in the T20 format.

Skipper Rohit Sharma also voiced his concerns recently thanks to the bowler’s inability to stop runs in the death overs saying – “areas of concerns, we have to look at our bowling, what more options we can find in the powerplay, middle and death.”

What added to India woes was all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja’s absence from the marquee event with a knee injury. While Team India is ranked number one in the ICC team rankings for the shortest format, they haven’t lifted the T20 World Cup trophy since 2007 and failed to reach the semi-finals in the last edition.

This time they have Pakistan, South Africa, Bangladesh and two qualifiers in their group.
