New Zealand will attack these 2 weak links of India, if it does not work then they will lose the T20 World Cup?
IND vs NZ Final: India and New Zealand are going to clash in the final of T20 World Cup 2026. This title match is going to be played on Sunday, March 8 at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad. In this match, a tough competition is expected between the two teams. If we look at the playing-11 of the Indian cricket team, two players remain the constant weakness of Team India. New Zealand cricket team will attack these two players and by targeting them, they would like to win the final and lift the trophy of T20 World Cup 2026.
These 2 players became the weak link of the Indian team
These two players are none other than the Indian cricket team’s mystery spinner Varun Chakraborty and left-handed explosive opening batsman Abhishek Sharma. Varun is responsible for India’s spin attack, but he has looked colorless in the entire tournament. New Zealand must have kept an eye on the way he bowled in the semi-final against England.

Now the New Zealand batsmen would like to dominate him and score as many runs as possible by beating him fiercely. In this match, if New Zealand batsmen do not give wickets to Varun Chakravarthy and score 50 to 60 runs in his 4 overs, then India may lose the T20 World Cup trophy.
| player | match | over | ball | Run | economy | Wicket |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Varun Chakraborty | 8 | 28 | 168 | 248 | 8.85 | 13 |
Abhishek Sharma remains the second weak link for the Indian cricket team in this T20 World Cup. Before the T20 World Cup, Abhishek was the strength of the Indian batting line-up but currently he remains the weak link of Team India, on whom New Zealand would like to attack and win the T20 World Cup trophy. Abhishek Sharma could not even open his account in the first 3 matches of this World Cup.
Doing what he does best! 🙌

Abhishek looked colorless in the last match of Super-8 against West Indies and could not play a big innings even in the semi-final against England. Now, if against New Zealand also Abhishek returns to the pavilion after playing more balls and scoring less runs, then it will be a loss for the Indian team. In such a situation, the host team’s dream of winning the T20 World Cup 2026 title may be shattered.
| player | match | Run | average | strike rate | best score | fours | sixes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Abhishek Sharma | 7 | 89 | 12.71 | 130.88 | 55 | 10 | 5 |
New Zealand will attack these two weak links of India
New Zealand batsmen Finn Allen, Tim Seifert, Rachin Ravindra and Glenn Phillips will attack India’s weak link in the form of Varun Chakraborty. All these batsmen of the Kiwi team would like to beat Varun fiercely and score as many runs as possible in his overs.
Whereas New Zealand bowlers Matt Henry, Lockie Ferguson, Rachin Ravind, Cole MacKonchi would like to attack this weak link of India in the form of Abhishek Sharma. Off-spinner McConchie can prove to be important in front of Abhishek, who can send him to the pavilion in the beginning itself. Whereas both Henry and Lockie would like to send Abhishek to the pavilion by bowling a dot ball.
What is the solution to overcome these weaknesses in the finals?
The Indian cricket team has a solution to overcome these weak links in the T20 World Cup final against New Zealand, that is to change its playing-11 and by keeping Abhishek Sharma and Varun Chakraborty on the bench against New Zealand, they give a chance to two such players who can surprise New Zealand and spoil all their plans.
Suryakumar Yadav and coach Gautam Gambhir can give a chance to Kuldeep Yadav in the playing-11 in place of Varun Chakraborty. This will remove one weakness of India. Whereas by giving rest to Abhishek Sharma in the final, Rinku Singh can be included in the playing-11.
In this situation, Ishan Kishan can start the innings with Sanju Samson. Whereas Rinku Singh can enter the team as a finisher. Tilak Verma can be given a chance at number three. In this way, Team India can remove both its weak links in the final of T20 World Cup.
