Former India cricketer Atul Wassan feel South African batsmen would fall short of any answer to the speed, skill and ferocity of Jasprit Bumrah who will single handedly win the final for Team India.
Ahead of the T20 World Cup final between India and South Africa, Cricket Australia (CA) picked their team of the tournament. India will take on South Africa in the summit clash on Saturday in Barbados, having thrashed England and Afghanistan, respectively in the semi-finals. Afghanistan's entry in the semi-final was the story of the tournament, especially with the Rashid Khan-led side beating Australia in the Super 8 stage to deny the former champions a place in the semi-finals. Coming back to CA's T20 World Cup XI, the apex board selected three Indian, two stars each from Australia and Afghanistan and one player each from West Indies, USA, Bangladesh and South Africa.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) trolled England pacer Jofra Archer after India beat the defending champions to reach the final of the T20 World Cup 2024. The Rohit Sharma-led India hammered Jos Buttler and co by 68 runs in a rain-hit second semi-final at the Providence Stadium in Guyana. Chasing 172, England were bowled out for a paltry total of 103, thanks to some disciplined bowling from the India bowlers. Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav bagged three wickets each, while Jasprit Bumrah continued his rich vein of form with another brace.
India head coach Rahul Dravid and skipper Rohit Sharma have thrown their weight behind the struggling Virat Kohli, saying the stylish batter has shown the intent and is due for a "big one" in the T20 World Cup finals against South Africa. Kohli, who was the highest run-getter at this year's IPL with 741 runs, is yet to make a significant contribution in the tournament, having scored only 75 runs in seven innings.
Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra singled out praise for one individual as India beat England in the second semi-final of the 2024 T20 World Cup by 68 runs. That man is not Rohit Sharma or Suryakumar Yadav or Jasprit Bumrah, but all-rounder Axar Patel. With England needing to chase down 172 and captain Jos Buttler making a quick start, Axar was introduced in the fourth over to create a breakthrough. And so he did, picking up three wickets in his first spell and dismantling the backbone of the England batting.
Rahul Dravid's tenure as head coach of the Indian men's cricket team will come to an end after Saturday's T20 World Cup final against South Africa in Barbados. Under Dravid's leadership, India has had a remarkable run across formats, but have failed to clinch an ICC trophy. Ahead of his departure, a campaign is being run for Dravid on social media saying that Team India must give a memorable farewell to him by winning the T20 World Cup. The #DoItForDravid campaign has garnered a lot of attention leading up to the final against the Proteas.
Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar is "not concerned" about misfiring Virat Kohli's form as he believes the overall momentum and form of the team is far more important ahead of the T20 World Cup final against South Africa. India's stalwart batter has struggled to boss around the bowlers just like he did while opening for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. Since touching down in the USA and the West Indies for the marquee event, Kohli has been enduring a nightmare, chasing shadows of his former self and searching for runs from his bat throughout the marquee event.
Indian cricket fans in Kanpur offer prayers for the victory of the Rohit Sharma-led Men in Blue in the final match of the T20 World Cup 2024 against South Africa. India will take on South Africa in the final match of the T20 World Cup 2024 at the Kensington Oval in Barbados on Saturday. A little away from Kanpur, fans in Varanasi performed havan for Team India's victory in the upcoming final match of the marquee event. India will be aiming to end their drought for an ICC trophy since 2013's Champions Trophy and also win their first T20 World Cup since 2007's inaugural edition in South Africa.
