This year too, India is one of the favorites and as the world No 1 ranked T20I team, who have won 23 T20Is from 32 matches in 2022, without Whatever the outcome, the expectation is again great.

HOW TO ACCESS THE MATCH HIGHLIGHTS
The Indian team has faced defeat after failing at the 2021 T20 World Cup mainly because of slow hitting the ball in the Powerplay round as well as in the middle round, putting a lot of pressure on the batters to compensate in the death ring. They decided to change their tactics and started going full-blown from the start, and it’s working well for the team.

Since the 2021 World Cup in the UAE, India has recorded an average number of runs per time (RPO) of 9.32, the highest in the world during this period. Among the leading teams, only South Africa (9.06) and England (9.02) had RPOs above 9. In fact, India’s Pakistan had an RPO of just 8.07 during that period. It has resulted in India winning 26 of their 35 T20I, with no results, since the final edition of the T20 World Cup.
India will want to continue with the same tactic and pressure the opponent from the start. With a good squad and long ball, India can start the game without much concern about losing a game or two early in the innings. It has paid a good dividend so far and will in all likelihood do so during the big event.

Minor concerns about Rahul and Kohli have dissipated over the past few months, with both competing in difficult situations against good bowling teams in the Asian Cup as well as series against Australia and South Africa.
Suryakumar has amassed 864 runs since the 2021 T20 World Cup with an amazing strike rate of 180, hitting the one hundred and seventy mark in 26 innings. While Rohit has scored runs with 145 strike rates during this time, scoring 699 runs with the help of 4 fifty in 26 innings. Kohli ended his century-old drought and scored 485 runs in 14 innings with a good strike rate of 139.36. Hardik also scored his runs with an impressive strike rate of 151.38. Rahul (SR 128.66) is improving over time, and Karthik can unleash his shots from the ball one by one.
ALL IMPACT CIRLS
Hardik Pandya’s form and confidence all-round give India a big advantage in crunch matches. Hardik with his effective batting has won few games in the recent past and regularly bowls 3-4 in a match. All positive signs for Team India as he gives the squad a balanced look. In the past year since the last hosting of the T20 World Cup, Hardik has been a phenomenon with the stick, scoring 436 runs in 18 innings with a strike rate of 151.38, including twice 50.
Along with Hardik, the people around him – Axar Patel and Ravichandran Ashwin – also give XI a healthy look. Axar, who was brought on as a similar replacement for Ravindra Jadeja, has proven his worth in recent home games against Australia and South Africa, scoring 10 goals in six games. Both Axar and Ashwin are world-class spinners and are very comfortable hitting the club down to 7th and 8th place respectively.

Team India also has a batting around in Deepak Hooda who can fold his arms to deliver when needed.
Although India don’t have the space to accommodate too many all-round players in their current lineup, they will be hoping whoever is playing that game can excel. Captain Rohit Sharma has said that the team is ready to change the lineup for every match if needed. The presence of impactful all-rounders gives India both batting and bowling depth as they can join the six bowlers in the XI in play without affecting the hitting lineup. shadow.
