Team India Faces Selection Dilemma Ahead of Super 8 Round
Team India, who remained undefeated in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, will play their first Super 8 match against Afghanistan. This match will be played on June 20. Team India captain Rohit Sharma did not make any changes in the playing eleven during the series matches. But now will Rohit change for Super 8? This is becoming a topic of discussion. However, according to the pitch in the West Indies, the veterans think that Team India should go with a special spinner. Australia’s Adam Zampa has already proved that the Windies’ pitches are good for spinners.

Strategic Considerations for the West Indies Pitches
Team India played in the league stage with 2 all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Akshar Patel. Akshar Patel took 23 wickets while Jadeja failed. What’s more, Jadeja has not been able to score a single run. Also, he has not done anything special in fielding in this ICC tournament. Now there is a discussion in Playing Eleven about whether to give a chance to Kuldeep Yadav for Super 8 or to retain Jadeja. New Zealand’s veteran batsman Stephen Fleming has reacted to this. “If the pitch is conducive to turning the ball, Kuldeep will be effective. “Kuldeep will have a lot of leverage to help us get closer to the competition,” explained Fleming.

In my opinion, this is a team that has been selected partly with the finals in mind. Also, there are spinners in the team, who will dominate the rival teams. Also, some players will dominate the spinners. We have seen how important spin is in Windies”, said Fleming.
