Kapil Dev: Former India stalwart who guided Team India to its first-ever World Cup victory back in 1983, has offered his opinion on Rohit Sharma’s and his teammates’ prospects of reaching the T20 World Cup 2022 semifinals.
Given how unpredictable the shortest format is, the illustrious all-rounder believes it will be difficult for the Men in Blue to reach the last four. “In T20 cricket, the team winning a match can lose the next… It’s a very difficult to talk about the chances of India winning the World Cup. The issue is can they make it to the top four? And I am concerned about their making it to the top four, only then anything can be said. For me, it’s just 30 % chance of India making it to the top four,” said Kapil Dev.
The seasoned player also commented on Mohammed Shami taking over for Jasprit Bumrah, who was disqualified from the T20 World Cup in 2022. “He is a fine bowler and much would depend on how Rohit uses him. Nowadays injuries are the biggest problem for fast bowlers,” said the 63-year-old.
In addition, he said that KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma have helped India become a strong batting unit because to Surykumar Yadav’s outstanding play.
“In fact, no one ever thought about Yadav being an impact player in the future, but he did great with his batting and forced the world to talk about him. Now, we can’t think about India without him,” added Kapil Dev.
He further continued, “Having a batter like Suryakumar in the team in the company of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul, a team automatically becomes strong.”
