Earlier, the Indian team won the Test series by 1-0 and the ODI series by 2-1. Only 10 months left for the next T20 World Cup. The World Cup is to be played jointly in West Indies and America in June. Earlier, coach Rahul Dravid has talked a lot about the team’s batting and along with that he has also hinted at major changes. Dravid said that if you look at West Indies’ batting, Alzari Joseph comes in at number 11 and he hits big shots. Our team lacks this.

Talking to the media after the T20 series, Rahul Dravid said that we have a challenge of good batsmen in the lower order. We need to pay attention to this. He said that we have to play the World Cup within 10 months, but we cannot enter the tournament with this kind of preparation. From No.8 to No.9 we need players who can hit the ball. In such a situation, the bowlers have to improve their batting a bit. In such a situation, Dravid has talked about preparing Shivam Dubey, who plays for MS Dhoni’s team Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2023. Shivam Dubey is known for big shots. For this reason it is also called Khali.
3 players to watch out for
Former Indian captain Rahul Dravid said that lower order players need to have the ability to hit fours and sixes. We need to focus on players who can both bat and bowl. Shivam Dubey’s name comes to my mind. Even Venkatesh Iyer and Washington Sundar. We need to prepare players like him.
3 Young people affected
Rahul Dravid said that Yashaswi Jaiswal, Tilak Verma and fast bowler Mukesh Kumar performed effectively in the T20I series against West Indies. Tilak batted well in the middle order while Mukesh made an impact in the death overs. However, Dravid did not seem disheartened by the defeat in the T20 series. He said that the senior players were rested in view of the ODI World Cup. The Asia Cup is also ahead. Young players got a chance to learn from the series.
Looking at 30-year-old Shivam Dubey’s overall T20 record, he has scored 1913 runs at an average of 27 in 95 innings from 106 matches. 8 half-centuries have been scored. The strike rate is 140, which is excellent. Shivam has also hit 117 sixes. Shivam has also taken 41 wickets as a fast bowler. 3 wickets for 27 runs is the best performance. Venkatesh Iyer has scored a century in T20. He also bowls fast. Team India is now scheduled to play 3 T20 matches on their tour of Ireland.
