India vs South Africa T20 World Cup Final: Team Strengths and Weaknesses Analysis

Well, it's been a while since I posted something. We all took some time to recover from the ODI WC final defeat, but the Indian Cricket team has ensured that we fans can fall in love with this sport once again as soon as possible. Continuing their tremendous form, they have qualified for the finals of the ongoing T20 World Cup against South Africa.

So, in this post, I will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of our team before the big match. Let's start with the weaknesses first because that's where we need to work on and we don't have a lot of time.

The form of Virat Kohli and Shivam Dubey has been one of our weaknesses throughout the tournament. I personally think the major reason for Virat not being able to score is the change that is being forced upon him. He is trying to attack from the first ball, trying to hit the ball hard, but that's not the Virat we know. Virat is arguably the best batsman of this generation, and his way of playing is what makes him the GOAT. We all know he is capable of hitting and scoring runs without playing unnecessary aggressive shots, and I think it's the management's job to give him that confidence back.

Coming to Shivam Dubey, a few matches back I would've said that we should drop him and bring Jaiswal into the eleven, but as we are already in the finals, that's not an option. We need to motivate him and try to send him to bat when he gets to face spinners, as we all know how good he is at playing spin. Another weak link in our team is Ravindra Jadeja, but the way he batted in the semifinals against England is exactly what we want from him. I hope he does the same in the finals.

Now, coming to our strengths, I would say Rohit's and Surya's form has been one of the most important reasons behind our success, especially the way Rohit is batting. Pant and Hardik are looking good and have performed whenever needed throughout the tournament. But our biggest strength in this World Cup has been our bowling. The way they have bowled, they've single-handedly won us matches. Jasprit Bumrah has once again proved why he is the best bowler of the format. Arshdeep has picked wickets at the top, Axar and Kuldeep are choking the opposition in the middle overs, and Hardik has also taken important wickets throughout the tournament.

Our bowling lineup is proving the famous saying, "Batsmen win you games, bowlers win you tournaments."

With all this, in the end, I would just say that let's pray that this time God will be a little kind to us and our boys will be winning the World Cup on 29th June.

PS - I will be writing a preview for the finals tomorrow, but it might not contain any images as I will be out.

ALL VIEWS ARE PERSONAL OPINIONS.
