However, concerns over player fitness arose, particularly regarding opener Abhishek Sharma, who had recently been hospitalized. The team management is cautious about his recovery, wanting him fully fit for the high-pressure encounter against Pakistan.
Jasprit Bumrah’s return to the squad was another highlight, as he was seen bowling with intensity in practice sessions. His presence in the playing XI is expected to strengthen India’s bowling attack moving forward in the tournament.
As the tournament progresses, India looks poised to continue their dominance, aiming for a strong performance in the matches ahead. With the skills displayed against Namibia, fans can expect an exciting journey in the T20 World Cup.
