Now it's not all doom and gloom for Australia - I try and look at things from a positive point of view. It's different on these lower, slower wickets but when you haven't got that support and stability through that middle period then it's very, very hard for a bowler to defend 125. You always aim for that 150 benchmark, maybe 160. David Warner missed out, Aaron Finch got 44 but he had no support through that middle period and 125 is just not enough in T20 cricket. I don't think he can bat any better than that, some of the shots I saw him play were absolutely world class.Īustralia, on the other hand, were always on the back foot. When you're on, you're on and you've got to use your form and embrace the fact that there will be days when it all comes off. Jos Buttler hit 71 off 32 balls and some of the shots he played off the Australian quicks - these are world class bowlers, but he was treating them like he was having a net session. 50-over cricket you can play catch up, Test match cricket you've got days and it's like a game of chess, but in T20 cricket if you slip up for an over or two it can cost you the whole game. We all know that when playing a T20 match you've only got 20 overs to absolutely nail it. Parts of the game were outstanding for Australia but in other parts they probably let themselves down. Pace ace Singh took 14 wickets in 9 matches while Jadeja has bagged the same amount of wickets from 17 games.The 50-over World champions were just too good in the end, it's as simple as that. Both Jadeja and RP Singh have taken 14 wickets for India in the T20 World Cup. Jadeja is the joint fifth highest-taker for India at the ICC World T20. Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is an automatic starter for the Kohli-led side in the 2021 edition of the ICC World T20. India's all-format pacer only played 17 T20Is for the Asian giants. The former pacer also recorded his final T20I appearance against the Proteas at the 2012 World Cup. Zaheer made his T20I debut against South Africa in 2006.
Zaheer, who played an instrumental role in India's 2011 World Cup triumph, bagged 12 wickets for the Men In Blue. Legendary fast bowler Zaheer Khan only played a dozen of matches for India in the T20 World Cup. Having said that, let's take a look at the leading Indian wicket-takers in the T20 World Cup. While returning Ashwin can rediscover his form, Ravindra Jadeja is one scalp away from becoming the join fourth-highest wicket-taker for India at the T20 World Cup.
Even though India are without its record wicket-taker in the T20 World Cup, skipper Kohli still has a versatile attack at his disposal. India's leading wicket-taker in the shortest format of the game, Chahal failed to make the cut despite making amends in the second leg of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021. While veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin received a much-deserving call-up for the T20 World Cup, spin wizard Yuzvendra Chahal was surprisingly overlooked by the Indian selectors ahead of the showpiece event. With legendary cricketer MS Dhoni as mentor, the Sourav Ganguly-led Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) furnished a star-studded 15-member squad for the ICC World T20 hosted by India in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Oman.
