New Delhi. Indian cricket has always been known for its batsmen. This time too, the fate of the Indian team led by captain Rohit Sharma in the T20 World Cup will largely depend on the top-3 batsmen. As it is being discussed that Yashasvi Jaiswal will hardly get a place in the playing eleven. If Yashasvi is out of the playing eleven, then the top-3 in India's batting lineup will be Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav. These three are among the top batsmen not only in India but also in the world. Therefore, their success will largely decide whether Rohit Sharma will be able to win the World Cup trophy or not.
India's first match in the T20 World Cup is against Ireland. This match is to be played on Wednesday at 8 pm (Indian time). India and Ireland will clash for the second time in the T20 World Cup. Earlier, both of them came face to face in the 2009 World Cup. Then the Indian team won. Talking about overall T20 matches, India and Ireland have come face to face 7 times. India has won all these matches. That means the record is in India's favor.
If we look at the current batting lineup of the Indian team, the top-3 batsmen Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav are its biggest match winners. After this, the possible batting lineup will be Shivam Dubey, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja. These four batsmen playing in the middle order also have the ability to win matches. But this will happen only when the top order gives a good start.
India's probable playing XI: Rohit Sharma (captain), Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dubey, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh.
