INDIA NEEDS A STRATEGIC TWIST

India requires a strategic twist in their approach. The defeat to Australia in the 2003 World Cup was attributed to the onslaught on the fast bowlers, leading to a colossal total. In the recent semifinal against New Zealand, despite resilient bowling, the Kiwis made a comeback. The Indian team lacked additional bowlers. For tomorrow's final, the Indian think tank should contemplate a crucial change: introducing Shardul Thakur or Ashwin while sidelining SKY. This adjustment would restore balance. Though the team acknowledges this constraint, taking a calculated risk might be worthwhile. It's time, Team India, to introduce that unforeseen element and turn the tide.
