Under the captaincy of MS Dhoni, team India has witnessed many glorious moments. The side won a major ICC trophy long back in 2013 in England. For the marquee events, the team has qualified in multiple knockout stages.
The pattern for India was tweaked when the Virat-led team couldn't even cross the Super 12 stage in the 2021 T20 World Cup 2021. In the upcoming edition, Rohit has all the pressure and the responsibility to drive his team to the victory line. Hence, they will be more determined to turn the tables in the forthcoming tournament.
To break the hoodoo of winning the World Cup, the men in blue will need to put in cumulative efforts.
To better understand the performance of the team in the T20 World Cup 2022, let us take you through SWOT analysis.
Strengths - The Potential of Top Order Batters
After a monotony of delivering sloppy performances in many cricket matches, Virat had to face criticism. Recently, in the Asia Cup matches, Virat got back in the groove and slapped the critics in their faces.
His presence in the top order along with Sharma and Rahul might gear up the game, setting impressive records. KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav have been sensational and they would surely look to maintain their pace in the mega event.
Weaknesses - Death Bowling
While batters have been cushioning the bowling performances, the death bowling can prove woeful for the team in the upcoming World Cup edition. The most experienced bowler, Bhuvneshwar Kumar had a rough time and would need to pull his socks to rock back on the pitch. The players, such as Harshal Patel and Arshdeep Singh will be appearing for their maiden World Cup and they would need to be at their best to pose India at greater heights.
Opportunities - Young Age Players to Go Beyond
Since Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja have been ruled out ahead of the T20 World Cup 2022, the young talent like Arshdeep Singh, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Harshal Patel, and Axar Patel have all the ground under their feet to show their power to the world.
Threats - Absence of Bumrah and Jadeja
While Jadeja and Bumrah will be missing in the tournament, India would be facing a threatful time on the ground. At the fag end of the innings, Bumrah has the savage power to flip the game to the side and Jadeja for the finishing touches in the batting.
India has been far away from tasting the delight of lifting the World Cup trophy. The men in blue have all the zeal to make the nation proud.
