ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 India will lock horns against South Africa in an epic final and it will be bombastic to see who will finish their drought of many years. Rohit Sharma and Co will look to keep things simple and so will win this World Cup.
India thrashed England in the semi-final and booked their place in the finals. Rohit Sharma is in red-hot form but Virat Kohli needs to gear up for his form as this World Cup is not going well for him but his knock in the final will surely bring smiles to the faces of fans.
Shoaib Akhtar supports India to win World Cup
India has been backed as a favorite since the start of the World Cup and the day has arrived when India will face South Africa which is now an ultimate showdown in Barbados. Rohit Sharma has planned so well that things have gone perfectly till now just one hurdle and the trophy is ours. Every player has shown consistency and their hunger to win matches so India is ready to grab that trophy for their side. Former Pakistan legend Shoaib Akhtar supports India to win the World Cup. Shoaib Akhtar says :
“I think India deserves it and many congratulations to India. This is what I have been saying for the longest period that they should have won the last two World Cups, and they should win this one as well. If South Africa wins the toss, they should look to bat first. Then you still have a slight margin or else, they are playing their very first final, but after this performance, even South Africa will be scared. Who will score runs in front of these spinners? India should win this one.”
Further, Shoaib Akhtar advises that Rohit Sharma should send Virat Kohli at 3 and bring Rishabh Pant to open as Virat Kohli is not at par and scored just 75 runs so it’s high time that he should go to his original position, and then the result will be different. Shoaib Akhtar said:
“I wish Rishabh Pant and Rohit Sharma could open and send Virat Kohli to No. 3. India’s issues will be sorted if Kohli comes down to his natural and usual position. This is not his game, he likes to take time and hit loose balls, and then he improves his strike rate. So I am not sure if Kohli is a natural opener, so he is kind of stuck and if Rishabh Pant comes to open, then the issue will be resolved,” said Akhtar in the same video.
So, will it be India or South Africa who will lift the trophy and break the jinx for their country?
