News India Live, Digital Desk: Indian cricket team is going to start its T20 World Cup campaign from 7th February. Just before the tournament, Virender Sehwag has given a big statement saying that the current Team India under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav is much better and balanced than the team which won the first T20 World Cup in 2007. According to Sehwag, this team has a combination of experience and youthful enthusiasm that has never been seen before. Why better than Dhoni’s 2007 team? (Sehwag’s Verdict) Sehwag, in a conversation with Cricbuzz, has listed some solid reasons behind this: Experienced all-rounders and spinners: Sehwag believes that the current team has world-class all-rounders and spin department, which has the power to turn the match under any circumstances. In 2007, the team was young and going through a phase of experimentation, whereas this team is completely settled. Abhishek Sharma’s ‘X-Factor’: Sehwag praised young opener Abhishek Sharma. He said that the way Abhishek starts with a strike rate of 200+ is the biggest advantage for India. Sehwag has compared Abhishek’s batting to his explosive style. Sharpness in bowling: The presence of Bumrah and Varun Chakravarthy (who is currently the No. 1 bowler in the T20 rankings) makes this attack the most lethal bowling attack in the world. MS Dhoni also admitted: “This is the most dangerous team.” Not only Sehwag, MS Dhoni himself has also praised this team. Dhoni said: “This team has everything that a good team should have. The players not only have the talent, but they have also gained experience by playing under pressure for years. This is the most dangerous team in this tournament.” Statistics that make Surya’s team ‘Invincible’ The performance of the Indian team under the duo of Suryakumar Yadav and Gautam Gambhir has been incredible: Winning record: In the last 41 T20I matches, India has won 31 matches and It has faced defeat only in 6. Invincible Series: Team India has not lost a single bilateral series since winning the 2024 World Cup. Ranking: India is currently ranked number 1 in the ICC T20 rankings. Big Challenge: Dew Factor. While Dhoni praised the team, he also gave a warning. He believes that ‘dew’ will play the biggest role in the matches to be held in India in the month of February. The team winning the toss can get a huge advantage, which will make it difficult for the spinners to grip the ball.
