Hardik Pandya could not ship with the bat within the T20I sequence in opposition to West Indies© AFP
Top Indian stars like Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, Shreyas Iyer, and many others missed the T20I sequence in opposition to West Indies attributable to accidents or workload administration as Hardik Pandya’s males slumped to a 2-3 defeat. Though there is no T20 World Cup this yr, the consequence has raised many questions on the workforce’s preparedness within the shortest format and roadmap going ahead. Former India opening batter Wasim Jaffer is not proud of the ‘template’ proven by the workforce within the sequence and needs it to be modified.
“The bulk of the [T20 World Cup] team will be from this 15,” Jaffer mentioned on ESPNCricinfo. “You need to look at the youngsters to take you forward in this format. So players like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tilak Varma, Mukesh Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, they are the future. But there are some gaps you need to fill. The major concern is the batting finishing at number seven. Quite a few of the top order are not getting a start and not converting it and quite a bit of that boils down to them feeling there is nobody to bat after number seven so they have to bat the bulk of the overs and when you go with that mindset, it does not help.”
Jaffer is of the opinion that extra all-rounders must be included within the Indian workforce, particularly in T20Is. He urged gamers like Shubman Gill, Washington Sundar, Venkatesh Iyer, and many others. to be groomed for all-round roles.
“Within 10 months’ time, India will be playing the World Cup. This cannot be the template. The batting needs to come till number eight, possibly nine, somebody who can tonk the ball. And obviously, the bowlers, need to start getting their batting a little bit better. At least their six-hitting or four-hitting ability. We need to look at guys who can bat and bowl. Shivam Dube comes to my mind. Venkatesh Iyer, Washington Sundar, those are the guys that come to mind and we need to groom them,” he concluded.
