The T20 World Cup is undergoing in USA and West Indies simultaneously. This time round a lot of associated nations have been given an opportunity to prove their mettle. The countries like USA, Canada, Ireland, and Uganda need to update their game to come under serious review by game observers and league franchises across the world. Already we are seeing some talent in these teams and if they utilize this opportunity properly they can be star performers in the international Circuit.
This world will help market cricket in the United States, a country where it is still not so popular. It is heartening to note that countries like Canada already have their well-organized domestic tournaments and leagues. The game of cricket is becoming more and more popular by the day.
Talking of the current T20 World Cup it appears India is again starting as favourites as they have done on numerous occasions. Indian cricket team has stalwarts like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to bank on in their batting while as the newcomers like Shivam Dubey and Yashasvi Jaiswal can torment any bowling attack on a given day. This youngster Yashasvi Jaiswal scored two double centuries against England in the home Test series and is a serious talent as is Rishabh Pant and Shivam Dube. In the bowling department, we have bowlers like Deepak Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav who have been greatly impactful in the limited overs format. These two spin bowlers have kept batsmen of all international teams guessing which way the ball is spinning – great duo to have in the bowling lineup up. In the fast bowling department India is lucky to have someone like Jaspreet Bumrah the veteran fast bowler who can change the game is one over of bowling. Bumrah is backed up the talented duo of Mohammad Siraj and Arshdeep Singh. All Indian players are match winners and on their day can win their side a match on their own.
We wish team India all the best for this international tournament. It has been quite a while since India has bagged an international trophy. We wish and pray that the wait ends here and when the Indian team turns to India this time it will be with the T20 World cup in their hands.
