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.

IPL 2021: Is Rishabh Pant the right choice as Delhi Capitals captain

  No doubt, Rishabh Pant is extremely talented player but is he the appropriate choice as a captain of a franchise? Rishabh Pant has been an important member of Delhi Capitals and has played the role of wicket-keeper and an explosive batsman pretty well. After the recent injury of Shreyas Iyyer and him removing his name from the tournament, it was a big question for Delhi Capitals that who will lead their team and they chose Rishabh Pant. Delhi capitals is a mixed team which has a perfect combination of youngsters like Prithvi Shaw, Avesh khan as well as highly experienced players like Ajinkya Rahane, Steve Smith, R. Ashwin and many more. When this news came out that Shreyas will not be participating in this season of IPL,many people expected that the franchise will give the captaincy to a more experienced player. This is a great opportunity for Rishabh Pant and I think that this can have a huge impact on his career. It won’t be easy for him to replace Shreyas Iyyer but I thi...

A Clash of Titans: India vs South Africa in the World Cup Finals

The finals are here, and we have a thrilling contest ready: India vs the Proteas. India are the favorites, but you can never underestimate this South African side. They are also in their best form and riding high on confidence after thrashing Afghanistan in the semis. Playing in their first World Cup final, this is a big opportunity for them to shed the tag of chokers. Their biggest strength has been having players step up at the right moment.Coming to our boys, we have a chance to end the ICC drought. Our bowlers have been our strength and have outclassed everyone in this tournament. We are again hoping that Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh pick wickets from the top, while Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, and Hardik Pandya break the middle order. Regarding our batting, our captain, the hitman Rohit Sharma, has proven why he is one of the best openers in the game. His batting can eliminate the opposition in just a few overs.I am not expecting any changes to the lineup, so we can hope th...

KL Rahul's World Cup chances for the ICT

This is the year of the ODI world cup and every cricket playing nation is preparing their teams for the tournament and so is India. When we see the current Indian team,we won't find a lot of spots left as most of those spots are almost confirmed and one of those few empty spots is the wicket keeper position and there are a few players who can fill this position; Eshaan Kishan, KL Rahul and probably Sanju Samson.  If we see the current trends and the team which is playing against Australia we find that KL Rahul has the highest chances of getting selected for the world cup but the twitter accounts might have a different opinion as Rahul’s performance can’t be considered his best as he has struggled to score runs since last few months and is also targeted for choking in big events and important matches so what does the cricketing logic say on his selection in the WC squad? When we look at the first ODI (IND VS AUS; Dated- 17 March) we will have no doubts regarding his selection as h...
