The much-anticipated T20 World Cup is still a few months away, with India entering as defending champions and strong favorites due to their well-balanced team.

R. Ashwin's Take on Key Threats

Former Indian cricketer R. Ashwin identified two players that opposing teams should be most wary of, surprising many by excluding Jasprit Bumrah from this list.

"So far, I was saying that handling Jasprit Bumrah is critical, but I would now say, from what I have seen, Tim David handled Varun Chakravarthy. I am thinking teams will go for Abhishek Sharma and Varun Chakravarthy if they have to get past India."

Ashwin also noted that teams would prepare specifically against these players in upcoming series as a lead-up to the World Cup.

"Against Abhishek Sharma, we will definitely see in this series the plan that is made, and they will definitely invite that. Whatever teams are coming, they will come prepared for the World Cup. Similarly, against Varun Chakravarthy, because that will give them leverage in that T20 World Cup."

Implications for the Tournament

These strategic focuses could prove decisive in the tournament's outcome.

Author's summary: R. Ashwin highlights Abhishek Sharma and Varun Chakravarthy as the most feared players in India's T20 World Cup squad, indicating a strategic edge opponents must counter to challenge the defending champions.
