IND Vs WI – Team India Aims for Semifinal Ticket! Here’s a Look at the Probable Playing XI

New Delhi: The Indian cricket team has revived its lost hopes of reaching the semi-finals with a resounding victory over Zimbabwe. They will play the West Indies in their final Super 8 match of the ICC T20 World Cup. This match will be a do-or-die contest for both teams. The Indian team’s hopes will rest on defeating the West Indies and reaching the semi-finals.

Led by Surya Kumar Yadav, this match will be played on March 1st at the Eden Gardens Stadium in Kolkata, and all the players have already begun net practice. The players are sweating it out on the field. If they want to make it to the final four, this match must be won at all costs. Head coach Gautam Gambhir is also very active with the team and is determined to make no mistakes.

Many Indian Batsmen in Form

Some of the Indian cricket team’s batsmen are in excellent form. Most notably, opener Abhishek Sharma has also found his form, winning the hearts of fans with his explosive start against Zimbabwe. Sanju Samson (24) and Abhishek Sharma (55) made a good start against Zimbabwe.

Ishan Kishan (38), batting at number 3, also scored runs. Captain Suryakumar Yadav (33) came in at number 4, Hardik Pandya (50*) at number 5, and Tilak Varma (44*) at number 6. All these batsmen played crucial innings. Therefore, Surya and company cannot afford to make many changes.

Bowlers Become a Problem

While the Indian team’s batting is in good form, the bowlers are disappointing, causing concern for the management and fans. Varun Chakravarthy and Shivam Dubey proved expensive against South Africa. Hardik Pandya is also not making much of an impact with his bowling.

Varun also lacked rhythm against Zimbabwe. Shivam, on the other hand, conceded 46 runs in two overs. After the match, coach Gautam Gambhir and bowling coach Morne Morkel spoke extensively with Shivam Dubey.
