In fact, since becoming champions in the T20 World Cup 2024, India had not lost any bilateral T20I series. Two players had an important contribution in this brilliant performance of the team – explosive opener Abhishek Sharma and mystery spinner Varun Chakraborty. Both of them consistently performed brilliantly for their team and played an important role in winning one series after another. However, Abhishek Sharma has been seen struggling with his poor form in the T20 World Cup, while Varun Chakraborty performed well in the first few matches, but after the match against South Africa, his form has also been lost. The batsmen have taken him to task.

Abhishek Sharma’s performance

Abhishek Sharma has scored a total of 89 runs in 7 innings of T20 World Cup 2026 at a low average of 12.71 and strike rate of 130.88. His highest score is 55 against Zimbabwe, which included three ducks in the tournament, mostly failing against off-spin.

Varun Chakraborty’s performance

Varun Chakravarthy took 9 wickets at an average of 6.88 and economy rate of 5.16 in the first 4 matches of the 2026 T20 World Cup. But, there were some problems in his performance in the Super 8, especially in the matches against South Africa and West Indies. He took 4 wickets but gave away runs at very high economy (some around 10+). In the semi-final against England, he gave 64 runs in 4 overs and took only one wicket. It has been an expensive spell.

Will India take risk in the final?

The team that plays better in the final match of T20 World Cup 2026 will win the title. And a small mistake can cost any team dearly. In such a situation, the Indian team management may have to take a big decision on the playing eleven. If Abhishek and Varun are kept out then Rinku Singh and Kuldeep Yadav may get a chance. But, there is very little possibility that changes will be made in the winning playing eleven.
