Parthiv Patel, the former cricketer and wicket Keeper of Indian National team before, has to say something this time. And what he says, make an absolute point. We all know how the Indian team got knocked out by Pakistan and then Sri Lanka in the Super 4 phase, failing to reach the finals.
But according to Parthiv Patel, the success of Pakistan and the success of Pakistan in Asia Cup 2022, is going to prove as a different challenge in the upcoming T20 world cup held in Melbourne, Australia. He said,
It is very important to start a tournament on a high. These are not long tournaments. In the 50-over World Cup, there is still time to make up for one defeat,
Parthiv Patel
He further added,
But in the T20 World Cup you lose one and you start doubting your whole method and everything comes into play. The chances of coming back in the tournament becomes very less. We talk about teams coming back in the IPL and that is because they are playing about 14 games. Here we have to beat at least one of Pakistan or South Africa.
Parthiv Patel
It is the same for Pakistan as well. They will come out with a different mindset. They were not expecting to beat India by 10 wickets in the last World Cup. Now that they have beaten India once in the Asia Cup and before that in the T20 World Cup, they would be thinking differently. They would be thinking that they can beat this side. Before that, they had no chance of beating India in World Cup games for a long time. So that will be a different challenge for India,
Before going to Australia, the Indian team will have to face two strong teams before the major clash as model exams before the board exams, but if they win or lose, should be based on strategy.
