Our preparation is not good… Before the World Cup, Aakash Chopra expressed his displeasure with Team India, told where are the shortcomings

He said, “Is India not ready for another T20 World Cup? Are we still unable to figure out our batting line-up? Who is the opener and finisher? Should we figure it all out in the World Cup itself? Yes, India prefer a left-right combination, but it is almost certain to go with two right-handers along with Rohit and Kohli. Rishabh Pant will probably bat at No. 3, followed by Suryakumar Yadav, and his exclusion will depend on whether the management sends Shivam Dube or Hardik Pandya again. Then Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel.”

T20 World Cup: Pant or Sanju Samson, who should get a chance in the playing XI? Sunil Gavaskar reveals his choice

Aakash Chopra further said, “We have been playing with almost the same XI and the same batting order since the end of the last T20 World Cup in 2022. So, what have we changed? The roles have changed a bit. I think our preparation has not been that good. We are still trying to recover from that. We have the talent, but the last time we opened with Rohit and Rahul, Kohli at 3… it didn't work out at all. It's bothering me a bit. It's a warning for us.”
