Team India has a chance to atone for the defeat of T20 World Cup 2022. England blocked India’s path last season. Team India lost by 10 wickets. Former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has said that this is a warning bell for Team India. Last season, England defeated India and won the title. Sanjay Manjrekar has alleged that Rohit-Virat did not perform as expected in the match against England. He further said that this ended Team India’s challenge in the tournament. In this match, Rohit Sharma scored 27 runs in 28 balls, while Virat Kohli scored 50 runs in 40 balls. India scored 168 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in 20 overs. England completed these runs in 16 overs without losing any wicket.
“India’s T20 team has completely changed. The 2022 World Cup defeat was a warning. But it will not accept anything. Rohit and Virat will never admit that they had a hand in the defeat. But the new Team India is very different,” Sanjay Manjrekar told ESPNcricinfo. “The good thing for India is that the England team looks a little weaker than the last time. This will help India move forward, Sanjay Manjrekar said.
Sanjay Manjrekar has also expressed concern about Virat Kohli’s form. Virat Kohli has scored 66 runs in the six matches played so far. The scores in the six matches are 1,4,0,24,37 and 0 respectively. “Virat Kohli is a matter of concern. He did not get enough runs. But there is no backing down in taking risks. Also, there is no worry about getting out, there is no doubt that he will have the same mindset in the semi-finals as well.’ Now it is interesting to see whether these four choose a six or a single. Sanjay Manjrekar said, only then will the difference in their batting be seen.
