With the World T20 being played in familiar conditions in neighbouring Bangladesh, India’s hopes of regaining the crown they won in 2007, says Harish Kotian, rest on their bowlers.
The World T20 provides India a final chance in a forgettable season to get back to winning ways and restore pride after disastrous performances away from home in recent months.
Since leaving home shores, Team India ended up losing one match after another across all formats. They were blanked in the Test and ODI series in South Africa and New Zealand 1-0 and 4-0 respectively.
Even the just-concluded Asia Cup ODI tournament proved disastrous for the World champions, who were beaten by Pakistan and eventual champions Sri Lanka, while only posting consolation victories over minnows Bangladesh and Afghanistan.
India’s bowling is a major worry, especially in One-Day Internationals, in which the team has been regularly hammered for totals in excess of 300. With the World T20 being played in familiar conditions in neighbouring Bangladesh, they will be looking to their spinners to make an impact after below-par performances outside the sub-continent.
