Former Indian cricket player Aakash Chopra spoke out before of the event to discuss the role Men in Blue captain Rohit Sharma will play. According to Aakash Chopra, he and Yashasvi Jaiswal will try to maximize the powerplay.
The T20 World Cup 2024 is quickly approaching, and the competing teams are working very hard to get ready for this highly anticipated competition. The Indian squad has been the focus of attention before to the competition. Team India will be eager to perform well and advance far in the T20 World Cup after losing the championship match of the ODI World Cup 2023.
India’s first three group games in the 2018 World Cup will be in New York against the United States, Canada, and Ireland. The West Indies and the United States will co-host the event. India will play their opening round match at Lauderhill against Canada.
“In the West Indies and New York, making the most of the first six overs will be crucial. Aakash Chopra stated in a video on his YouTube channel that “run-scoring will become slightly difficult as soon as the ball becomes slightly old and the field opens up.”
“The pitches will be like that in the end, so you’ll need power hitters.” From that vantage point, you have to take advantage of the first six overs, and that’s where Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma will give it their all to help you achieve that,” he continued.
He appeared to be going into an extremely hostile mode: Aakash Chopra
Aakash Chopra also discussed Rohit’s actions in the current Twenty20 International series versus Afghanistan. Rohit Sharma has not been able to score any runs in the two matches that India has played against Afghanistan thus far, as he has been dismissed for duck in each of them.
According to Chopra, “Rohit appeared to be batting in an extremely aggressive manner during the first two matches, attempting to hit every ball without getting set.”
