The Indian team will take to the field today with the determination to end the 11-year title drought in the International Cricket Council (ICC) tournament. Under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, the Indian team will play the third final of the ICC tournament in the last year. Team India got over the pain of losing to Australia in the WTC final and the ODI World Cup final. Rohit and his team face South Africa in the final of T20 World Cup 2024. The Indian team maintained their unbeaten streak in the tournament and reached the finals with undisputed dominance. However, the team still has some flaws and needs to be ironed out.

Team India’s Form and Challenges
India’s journey to the final has been marked by unbeaten dominance. However, the team has some areas of concern. Kuldeep Yadav has secured his spot in the playing eleven with stellar performances, particularly in the Super 8 stage. On the other hand, the form of Shivam Dubey and Virat Kohli has been worrisome. Head coach Rahul Dravid and captain Rohit Sharma are reluctant to change the playing eleven, but Dubey’s place in the lineup is still under scrutiny.
Virat Kohli, despite being the top scorer in IPL 2024 with 741 runs, has struggled in the World Cup, scoring only 75 runs at an average of 10.75. The decision to move him from his usual third position to open has not been successful, yet replacing him in the final seems unlikely. Kohli’s performance at number three will be crucial, with Suryakumar Yadav following him at number four.

Possible Lineup Changes
Given the form issues, some changes in the batting order might be considered. One option is for Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant to open, allowing Kohli to bat at number three. Alternatively, if Sanju Samson replaces Shivam Dubey at number five, this could stabilize the middle order. Another potential change is opening with Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal, with Pant dropping down to number five.
The Indian team needs to fine-tune these details to face South Africa with confidence and end their long wait for an ICC title. With strategic adjustments and strong performances, India aims to emerge victorious in the showdown on June 29 in Barbados.
