The Indian team has made it to the Super-8 by performing brilliantly in the group stage of the T20 World Cup 2024. The team will play its first match against Afghanistan. The two teams will clash on Thursday. But before that, cricket pundits are seen advising captain Rohit Sharma. The name of the coach of IPL franchise Chennai Super Kings has also been added in this episode. He has told which player can prove to be the X factor for India in the Super-8 of T20 World Cup 2024.

This Indian player will prove to be the X-factor in the Super-8 of T20 World Cup 2024

  • Rohit Sharma and company may have made it to the T20 World Cup 2024 Super-8, but the Indian spinners have failed to make their mark. The captain gave place to Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel in the playing XI.
  • But hard-hitting bowler Kuldeep Yadav has had to warm the bench. Former New Zealand captain and Chennai Super Kings coach Stephen Fleming gave an important advice to Team India management and Rohit Sharma.
  • He said that the Indian team management should give Kuldeep Yadav a chance. He can prove to be the team's X-factor in the Super-8. Also, Stephen Fleming called Kuldeep Yadav a skilled bowler.

There was a demand to include this bowler in the team

  • Stephen Fleming while speaking with ESPN Cricinfo said,
  • “If the wickets turn, as is expected as the tournament progresses, then Kuldeep can add extra wicket-taking ability.
  • He has the opportunity to try both combinations now, which is good, but you can't be a stickler for routine in the game and thus miss out on taking advantage of the situation."

Statement given about Ravindra Jadeja

  • Chennai Super Kings coach Stephen Fleming also backed Ravindra Jadeja and said that he can prove to be dangerous if the conditions are favorable. The former Kiwi player claimed,
  • “Mitchell Santner and Jadeja play similar roles for Chennai and at times it becomes difficult for us to get eight overs from the same bowlers.”
  • “They are bowlers with similar skills but there are differences too and both can be dangerous if the conditions are favourable.”
  • It is known that on June 20, Team India will play its first match of the Super-8 of T20 World Cup 2024 against Afghanistan in Barbados. It is being speculated that the captain may change his playing eleven for this match.
