New York, June 6 (IANS) Former India opener Aakash Chopra said he really wishes to see Kuldeep Yadav in the playing eleven for the marquee T20 World Cup clash against Pakistan on June 9. At the same time, Chopra conceded Kuldeep may not be picked for the match.
In Wednesday’s match against Ireland, India threw in a surprise when Kuldeep, who picked 16 wickets in 11 IPL 2024 games for the Delhi Capitals, didn’t find a place in the playing eleven, with Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja preferred spin-bowling options.
“This match will be a battle of nerves, obviously skills matter equally. Both teams will have almost equal support from the fans at the stadium. It is very hard to tell how the pitch will behave during the match, but the toss will be crucial because whoever wins will choose to bowl first and look to control the powerplay.”
“I believe that pace will dominate the match and India will come out with the same team. I really want Kuldeep Yadav to play but I don’t really see him being picked for this match,” said Chopra in an episode of JioCinema’s show ‘#AAKASHVANI’.
Chopra also feels Pakistan should field an all fast-bowling line-up in their marquee clash against India. “I think Pakistan should play all four fast bowlers. If they play, then they can really cause trouble for the Indian batters. But that is the big question – will they play the four pacers?”
“The expected total for this venue seems conservative, around 125-130 or 150-160 towards the higher end, but it doesn’t seem like a 200-run game. And these kinds of matches really suit Pakistan,” he concluded.
