Overview
- Speaking on Sony Sports, Sehwag said Abhishek Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah and Varun Chakravarthy can win T20 matches on their own for India.
- Some coverage noted his trio did not include Suryakumar Yadav, Sanju Samson or Shubman Gill, an omission framed as unexpected by commentators.
- Abhishek’s T20I surge includes 535 runs in 17 matches at a 193.84 strike rate with two centuries, topped by a 135 against England.
- Bumrah enters as a proven finisher with 15 wickets in India’s title run at the last T20 World Cup and 89 wickets in 70 T20Is, while Chakravarthy has 33 wickets in 15 T20Is with effective ‘mystery’ spin.
- Suryakumar Yadav captains India in Group A, opening against the UAE on September 10 before Pakistan on September 14 in Dubai and Oman on September 19 in Abu Dhabi.
