India to play Australia in the first T20I on September 20 in Mohali.
India is all set and packed to play its first match against Australia on 20th September. With the return of Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel India will be at full strength in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022.
Former India bowler and Gujarat Titans Coach Ashish Nehra had a few words of advice for Rohit Sharma's squad. He said the concentration of the team should not be about just winning the matches rather it should be to figure out the combination that they want to settle in the tournament.
"Close to the World Cup it's not only about results. The team will have to figure out what they want. India is playing three spinners at home, something that most teams would not be doing in Australia. There are 5 bowlers in the squad, so you are looking at the bowling side because you are not sure. The captain, coach, and the team management are looking at the fast bowling unit," Nehra said on Cricbuzz.
Indian Team missed the bus to the final in Asia Cup 2022 as they experimented a bit with their XI, but a good relief for them was that ace batter Virat Kohli struck form, hitting his maiden T20I ton against Afghanistan.
Ashish said that India should not only focus on the bowling side of things but also on their batting as well because they have not played a settled line-up.
"India chased down 147 against Pakistan with difficulty. The team will need to improve overall, not only in the bowling side of things. There are a lot of questions on the combination of the batting order and one can hope that by the time you go into the World Cup, you are clear more or less about what you want," the former cricketer concluded.
