India is gearing up to face arch-rivals Pakistan in a crucial T20 World Cup clash in New York, with former India batter Wasim Jaffer advocating for the inclusion of Axar Patel in the team. Jaffer emphasized the importance of Axar’s batting skills due to the nature of the pitch at Nassau County International Stadium, which has favored pacers so far. While discussing various combinations, Jaffer highlighted the need for Axar’s presence in the team over someone like Kuldeep Yadav, given the pitch conditions. India’s recent dominant victory against Ireland showcased their bowling prowess, but they are aware of the challenges posed by Pakistan’s pace attack of Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mohammed Amir, Haris Rauf, and Naseem Shah. The coaching staff has made strategic preparations with abrasive pitches to simulate match conditions for the top-order batters. The stage is set for a riveting India-Pakistan encounter in the T20 World Cup, reigniting the historic rivalry on cricket’s grand stage.
