3 mistakes from last T20 WC that India should avoid in upcoming edition

The 2022 T20 World Cup is just a few months away and all the teams have already started their preparations by playing T20I matches. The T20 World Cup will be played in Australia, and the defending champions will also have the home advantage working in their favor.

Talking about team India, the Men in Blue have also played several T20I bilateral series with some top cricketing nations to prepare themselves for the all-important tournament. To note, mighty India crashed out of the 2021 T20 World Cup after losing their first two group stage matches and will not want to replicate the mistakes they made during the previous ICC tournament.

Three mistakes from the last edition of T20 WC India shouldn’t make

3. Not Getting a good start with the bat during field restrictions

One of the biggest factors for team India to crash out of the competition was not able to get a steady start with the bat during the mandatory power play overs. The first six overs play a very vital role for the batting side to set a base for the big score in their allotted 20 overs.

During the first game against Pakistan in the 2021 World Cup, the Men in Blue lost three crucial wickets inside the field restrictions and could only manage to score 30+ runs. Batters Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, and Suryakumar Yadav were sent back to the pavilion inside the powerplay.

The same pattern was also displayed during the second game against New Zealand, as the Men in Blue could not even reach the 40-run mark in six overs and lost two wickets of KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan, with India scoring just 110 runs in their allotted 20 overs.
