T2O World Cup 2026: Team India would like to overcome all its problems and headaches in Super-8. Players who seem out of sync will have to get back into rhythm. Those who are in rhythm. They have to maintain it. Let us take a look in this article at those three players who will have to refresh themselves and move ahead.
New Delhi: India has made a spectacular entry in the Super-8 by winning all four of its group matches in the T-20 World Cup 2026. India has so far faced weak teams like USA, Pakistan, Namibia and Netherlands, but the real fight is about to begin. India has to play three matches in Super-8. South Africa, Zimbabwe and West Indies are in front. A mistake here means the matter is serious. Suryakumar Yadav himself would not want his team to do any kind of carelessness in Super-8, in such a situation it is very important to tighten some loose screws. Let us take a look at those three Indian players whose performance was not as per expectations.
Abhishek Sharma
Who would have thought that the world number-1 T-20 batsman would not be able to open his account in three consecutive matches. The first round of the tournament is over. 12 out of 20 teams have been eliminated. Eight teams have met for Super-8, but Abhishek Sharma has not been able to score even a single run so far. It seems that this explosive left-handed batsman has been noticed by someone. He could not play one of the four matches due to ill health, but in the matches in which he came on the field, he returned to the dugout with a score of 0.
vs USA- 0 runs in the first ball
vs PAK- 0 runs in four balls
vs NAM- did not play the match
vs NED- 0 in three balls
Tilak Verma
The job of this left-handed middle order batsman is to anchor the team. That is, according to the situation, he has to keep running the scoreboard by taking single-double, but this does not mean that head coach Gautam Gambhir has made him only by scoring big scores. Tilak has got good starts in every match, but he is not able to convert it into big innings. The 23-year-old batsman, returning from injury, could score only 106 runs at an average of 26.50 and strike rate of 120.45. If you look at Tilak’s scores and look at the timing of his dismissal, you will understand that every time he has missed a big score.
USA 25 runs in 16 balls
PAK 25 runs in 24 balls
NAM 25 runs in 21 balls
NED 31 runs in 27 balls

Rinku Singh
When the Indian squad was announced for the T20 World Cup, the selectors expressed confidence in Rinku Singh by dropping Shubman Gill. The selectors felt that by including Riku, the team would get a strong finisher. But this left-handed batsman has been able to score only 24 runs in a total of 27 balls played in the entire tournament.
vs USA- 6 runs in 14 balls
vs PAK- 11 runs in 4 balls
vs NAM- 1 run in 6 balls
vs NED- 6 runs in 3 balls
