India remains undefeated in the World Cup, but faces a formidable opponent, Australia, in the final match. Despite their stellar performance throughout the tournament, facing Australia in the final poses a significant challenge. However, India is determined not to miss this opportunity for victory, relying on six pivotal players whose roles will be crucial.
- Rohit Sharma: With remarkable leadership and aggressive batting, Rohit Sharma, as captain, aims to emulate legendary world-winning captains like Kapil Dev and Mahendra Singh Dhoni. His emphasis on team play and daring shots, even while nearing milestones, has laid the groundwork for India’s victories.
- Virat Kohli: Kohli’s pursuit of World Cup glory is evident after surpassing Sachin Tendulkar’s records. Despite a shaky start, his contributions ensured India’s triumphs. His batting prowess remains India’s mainstay.
- Jasprit Bumrah: After a year-long injury hiatus, Bumrah’s return showcased penetrative bowling skills, confining rival batsmen with his varied techniques.
- Mohammad Shami: A consistent wicket-taker in the tournament, Shami’s ability to dismantle batting line-ups has been exemplary.
- Lokesh Rahul: Rahul’s exceptional wicketkeeping skills and crucial DRS decisions, along with his strong middle-order batting, have bolstered India’s performances.
- Shreyas Iyer: Iyer’s batting at number four has addressed a long-standing concern for India. His consistent performances and two consecutive centuries have alleviated pressure on key players.
Additionally, an unexpected turn due to star all-rounder Hardik Pandya’s injury has seen Mohammed Shami’s entry into the team, proving pivotal for India’s progress. This unexpected shift highlights the adage that ‘some injuries can indeed be beneficial’.
