Micheal Clarke on India:
The T20 World Cup is just a few sleeps away. The fans are enjoying some thrilling warm-up matches ahead of the tournament. The squad of every team was finalized long ago. India has announced a star-studded squad. Rohit Sharma is ready to lead the team once again. Apart from that, along with seniors like Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, and others, youngsters like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Kuldeep Yadav, Shivam Dube, and others are ready to represent the country on the big stage. India’s squad is a perfect bled of experienced and talented youngsters.
Former Australian captain Michael Clarke expressed his belief that India is the favorite for the upcoming tournament due to the extensive cricketing experience their players have garnered beforehand. He said, “If you look at the favourites for the World Cup it’s got to be India just because of the amount of cricket they have played, their preparation has been outstanding. Conditions are different to India but there are a lot of similarities so the players would be used to that.”
On India’s Spin Department:
India’s spin department is a huge plus for the team. Along with the pacers, team management opted for four spinners, Yuzvendra Chahal is back in the squad after long. Kuldeep Yadav is there to give him good company. Along with them, Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja are also in the team. Jadeja’s excellence is known to the world and Axar is in an excellent form who can pick wickets in crucial times.
While talking about India’s spin strength, the Aussie great said, “I think India have taken a risk with the squad they have picked – heavily reliant on spin, very different from Australia. But in the conditions that I have played in the Caribbean, I think how you play spin is going to be a huge part of whether you succeed or not. India are the biggest threat for me with regards to who is going to win the World Cup.”
