New Delhi. The Indian cricket team is just one step away from lifting the T20 World Cup trophy for the third time. The host team of the tournament will play the final match against New Zealand at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on March 8. Everyone’s eyes are going to be on the in-form Indian players in the match, but there are two players who are under question regarding their performance. There are talks of his exclusion from the playing-11 in the title match. However, these two players are such that if they get going, they will single-handedly destroy New Zealand in the final. Both of them need a few balls to gain momentum. Now you must have understood that we are talking about Abhishek Sharma and Varun Chakraborty here.
Abhishek Sharma has failed to perform as per his ability in this tournament. Only one half-century innings has come from his bat. On the other hand, Team India’s mystery spinner Varun Chakraborty looked in form in the group stage itself, but he looked out of form in the Super-8 and then the semi-finals. Let us tell you that both these players are at number-1 in the ICC T20 rankings.

The performance of both these stars in the semi-finals against England was disappointing. Abhishek Sharma’s innings was limited to only 9 runs, while Varun Chakraborty gave away 64 runs in his four over spell. It was not only in this match, but the performance of both was similar in the matches of Super-8 round also. In such a situation, the team will expect match winning performance from these two in the final.
