Asia Cup 2022, India vs Pakistan: Post 2021 World T20 loss to Pakistan, a lot has changed in the Indian team

World Cup opener against Pakistan and India's erstwhile team management did cop a lot of flak for its archaic batting approach in shortest format of the game. A look at what has changed since then: ROHIT SHARMA AS CAPTAINUnder Rohit's captaincy, India's record since the T20 World Cup is good: 14 wins out of 16 played. His instinctive and out-of-the-box leadership is popular with players.

NEW ATTACKING MINDSETIndia's T20 batting style can be divided into two parts. During and before the T20 World Cup, it was based on the formula of conserving wickets at the start, consolidating in middle and going bang-bang in the final 5-7 overs. Since the World Cup, there has been a dramatic change.

The Indians batters have scored significantly quicker in the Powerplay overs and then carried on the momentum in the middle overs as well as the death. WINNING AFTER BATTING FIRSTIndia were always an excellent chasing side. Batting first, the picture wasn't rosy.

But things have changed in the Rohit-Rahul Dravid era. While the chasing win loss record remains at 7-1, it has gone up to 12-3 batting first. RISE OF 'SKY'Suryakumar Yadav has come into his own since the T20 World Cup.

Ricky Ponting even compared him to AB de Villiers for possessing a 360-degree game. Since the World Cup, he has scored 491 runs in 15 games at an average of 35.07 and a strike-rate of 180.51. The masterful 117 against England recently made everyone stand up and applaud.
