Former Indian cricketer and cricket pundit Aakash Chopra made a bold prediction about vice-captain KL Rahul ahead of the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2022, which is set to get underway in Australia from October 16.
Chopra said that Rahul could turn out to be the top scorer for Team India in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022, where the Men in Blue will kick start their campaign against Pakistan on October 23 at the MCG.
Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel: “KL Rahul could be the top run-scorer for India at the T20 World Cup 2022. He has an opportunity to bat all 20 overs, and he also has the game to bat till the end. These pitches will suit him a lot as the ball will come nicely onto the bat.”
Speaking about India’s bowling attack, Chopra said that Arshdeep Singh would be key for India in the absence of injured speedster Jasprit Bumrah, given the nature of Australian pitches. He also opened up about India’s chances of winning the T20 World Cup 2022 without the services of Ravindra Jadeja and Bumrah.
The commentator continued, “I believe it would be Arshdeep Singh. He is going to bowl with the new ball, and also in the death overs. It is also a possibility that he might be given the ball during the middle overs as well. He will like the pitches and the big grounds in Australia.”
Chopra signed off by saying, “If you say that you are the best team in the world and you say that you have the best depth, or you claim that your league is the best in the world, then without a doubt, you have to be overwhelming favorites to win the T20 World Cup.”
