With the cricket world slowly returning towards normalcy, all eyes are on next year’s T20 World Cup. The marquee event was scheduled to be held this year in Australia but had to postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. It will be held in India next year.
The teams have already started preparing for the first T20 World Cup since 2016. Team India have also started their preparation for the same with the ongoing three-match T20I series against Australia. The Men in Blue have clinched the series with a match to go by winning the first two games.
Virender Sehwag on India’s pacers for T20 World Cup:
With less than a year remaining before the T20 World Cup gets underway, former India batsman Virender Sehwag has picked T Natarajan as one of the pacers for the tournament. The batting legend named the pace trio India should opt for. Virender Sehwag left out the likes of Mohammed Shami, Deepak Chahar and other pacers from his lineup.
He stated that the Men in Blue should go with Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and T Natarajan. While Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar are established names, Natarajan is also fast becoming one thanks to his impressive outings in the ongoing tour of Australia.
“India will have a very strong bowling lineup for the T20 World Cup if T Natarajan plays with Bumrah and Bhuvi. The T20 format is such that a bowler who gives less runs today, can get hit tomorrow,” said Virender Sehwag at Sony Network’s cricket talk show.
“But his execution is very good, whether it is the yorker, slower one or length ball. Bumrah also has the same quality. He will realise after this tour, how big a change it has brought to his career. People will be wanting to learn from him and trying to become like him,” added Virender Sehwag.
