T20 World Cup 2026: Team India performed brilliantly in the group stage and secured its place in the Super 8 by winning all 4 matches. In the very first match of Super 8, the team had to face defeat at the hands of South Africa, due to which questions are being raised. Team India’s batting flopped badly against the African bowlers and none of the batsmen looked in form. The form of the team’s explosive opener Abhishek Sharma has also become a cause of concern for the team these days. In such a situation, an Indian veteran has given a suggestion to Team India.
Team India’s veteran opener Virender Sehwag has given a big advice to Team India before the match against Zimbabwe. While talking to Cricbuzz, he has advised Abhishek Sharma to take a break from this match. He says, “If it were me, I would have given a break to Abhishek Sharma. In his place, I would have given a chance to Sanju Samson. The match against Zimbabwe will be the last chance for this trial. If you lose this match, then you can play anyone in the last match. Therefore, field 11 in-form players in this match.”
Abhishek Sharma has played 4 matches so far in this tournament, in 3 of which he has been out without opening the account, while in one match he has scored 15 runs. On the other hand, Sanju has got a chance to play in only one match so far, in which he played an inning of 22 runs facing 8 balls.
Along with this, Virender Sehwag has also advised Team India to make changes in the batting order. According to Sehwag, “Suryakumar Yadav will have to bat at number 3 while Tilak Verma will have to come at number 4. In such a situation, the batsmen will have to field according to the left-right hand combination and will have to bat openly. At the moment it seems that Team India is playing under pressure and the batsmen are afraid of getting out.”
