Former India batter Suresh Raina talked to NDTV and mentioned, “Undoubtedly, if we win the opening sport in opposition to Pakistan, we are going to win the World Cup”.

He added, “The group is doing effectively proper now. Shami has changed Bumrah, it would give the aspect a little bit of X-factor. Now we have Arshdeep Singh and Suryakumar Yadav. Everyone seems to be in good type, and Virat Kohli is trying actually good. Rohit Sharma is an excellent chief, if we win the primary match, it would set a great tone for us. Everybody within the nation is praying for them and I actually need them to win the World Cup.”

Mohammed Shami changed Jasprit Bumrah within the squad for the T20 World Cup final week. He took three wickets within the last over in opposition to Australia in a warm-up match on Monday.

“I’d not name him an ideal substitute since you can not change Jasprit Bumrah or Ravindra Jadeja. They’ve performed constantly for India they usually have given performances. However the best choice you had, you’ve gotten chosen him. Shami has given good performances, he has been in good type. BCCI have executed rather well in sending the group to Australia 15 days previous to the event. The grounds are huge, general I feel the preparation has been good.

But when Rishabh Pant is there within the aspect, it supplies you with that X-factor as a result of he’s a left-handed batter. We noticed how Gautam Gambhir carried out within the 2007 T20 World Cup. Yuvraj Singh had six 6s. Then within the 2011 World Cup, each of them performed an enormous position. So I feel, being a left-handed batter provides you that benefit.”
