India will inevitably win ICC T20 World Cup 2022

[SpiritOf1903]

Considering ICC events have become BCCI present World Cup: Australia, it is only time that their fair contingent of fans in Australia, as substantial as anywhere in the world, roars them home.

The Indian juggernaut will start in ernest. Scary times for World Cricket.

 

[Suleiman]

If they don’t, they will be considered bottlers a la South Africa.

 

[Rana]

Best of luck to them

They have identified issues with their team and approach, and they are taking the measures necessary to rectify them. They deserve silverware.

 

[Kianig89]

With Australia having a hiccup nobody can stop India their cup tk lose

 

[jnaveen1980]

With Bumrah, Kuldeep, Siraj, Bishnoi India would have fancied their chances. This is a weak bowling unit. Aging batting unit. Take 4 wickets India will implode 10 out of 10 times.

 

[szrana007]

No doubt India are firm favorites.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

India won’t make it past the Super 12 stage.

SA and PAK to go through.

A crap bowling attack for T20i’s.

Sharma at the twilight of his career.

Kohli past his peak.

No Bumrah.

No Jadeja.

I can’t see how anyone thinks they’ll get to the finals let alone win it.

I just hope you are proven correct Baba Zonga

NZ & Eng to qualify with SA & Pak

 

[Civil]

They will definitely make it to the final. Then anything can happen

Anyone who rates this bowling attack are having a laugh. We won't be bottlers because we are not good enough

But India, land of IPL

 

[Minnowbasher]

Let's see. I think they struggle with the favourites tag. This is the first world cup since 2012 where India haven't come in as favourites so you never know they might prove people wrong and win it this time.

India play well in Australia but without Bumrah their bowling might struggle, esp against powerful batting line ups like England and NZ.

 

[Minnowbasher]

Most betting sites have India as favorites, so they should win on paper, but you never know.

I disagree. Most pundits seem to be backing the SENA countries more than India.

In Group 2, India are the most complete imo, they should get out unscathed and I expect them to top it.

They might be down on a little pace but they know how to bowl in T20’s and have skilful seamers.

These pitches should really suit your top order.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

I think England is the team to beat.

This WC is India's to lose

 

[Slim]

On a serious note: I don't see them winning the WC. Had the group been tougher, i would have expected a group stage exit.

 

[WengerOut]

But India, land of IPL

But we all know PSL is the gold standard. Wud be a cakewalk for Pakistan

Exactly. If India can decimate Australia in Australia in the toughest format with trundlers, then winning a hit and giggle tournament like this should be a piece of cake.

Noo. So many superstar idols like SKY and Axar and Arshdeep who's becoming an icon. U.N.S.T.O.P.P.A.B.L.E

What is your preferred bowling attack for India?

 

[Saj]

2 huge misses for them - Jadeja and Bumrah. Both will be badly missed.

Only Bumrah because most of our fans wanted Jadeja out of the team anyway.

 

[Ab Fan]

As long as India can beat best teams in the world in test cricket, I could care lesser of hit and gigle tournament which cricket experts like me forget in a matter of 14 days.

 

[Asif321]

I don’t see this team as world champions . Rohit is no dhoni also .India will fall short

Rooting for Ireland. I like their side.

Doesn't matter who we pick . We don't have the bowlers.

Every country has an idol. Does not mean that they are the best. Mushfiqur Rahim is an idol in Bangladesh, think about that. Pakistan not winning would be a travesty.

 

[happydavy]

I disagree. Most pundits seem to be backing the SENA countries more than India.

Which pundits? From gavaskar to tkar to ponting to bishop to gilchrist, all are calling india as one of the 2 favorites though in their heart they know they are telling lies. Media/broadcasters always want to project india as a strong favorite so as to build up the tournament and create buzz amongst stupid Indian fans who eat what media serves them. As far as bookmakers are concerned, until yday eng, aus and india were favorites in that order but with hardly any difference in odds. Now it's eng and india. I hav no doubts whatsoever that india just doesn't have the team to win a tournament of this proportion. When u select players like DK who are supposedly specialist at 2 overs game then u know you lack any depth in quality.

India has defeated only aus in aus and the number of times india visit sena countries, it's not an extraordinary accomplishment. The number of matches india looses in tests abroad is pretty embarassing.

Not as embarassing as some other team who last won a test match in Australia when Javed Miandad was playing.

FYI, India drew in England 2-2 also over a 5-match series and have beaten every team at home which means if you combine home and away, India are ahead on an overall level against any team you throw into consideration which makes them overall the best test team in the world.

So ur point being india is better than pakistan, i would agree so what. You want to call it the best team in a format played by 7-8 countries on the basis of home results then be my guest. We haven't won a series in NZ/sa/eng inspite of multiple tours. Are we technically number 1 team on the basis of points, perhaps yes but does that make us the best, absolutely no. If at all NZ can still claim to be best team because they won the icc test series. I feel our team was a far more compelling watch under dada when they actually used to defeat top teams in their conditions and won/drew series abroad.

Your arguments are laughable, according to you matches played in India don't count and only away matches count. There is really no point in a debate when you put that filter straightaway. It is overall performance which matters and not just performance in SENA even though we beat Australia in Australia twice and drew in England.

India is better than Pakistan in this thread for him but when it comes to India vs Pakistan, he picks Pakistan as favorites and instantly switch sides when India are ahead.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Well this proved eerily prescient

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Only two games from success in the annual Indian Games

 

[sam_ahm]

I think we will finally see South Africa win a World Cup. I'm very confident about this.

Wish Hash was still playing!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

I repeat. No quality wristspinner or to single bowler who bowls high pace. We are playing a specialist offspinner in Australia for crying out loud )
No quality left hander in the top 7 either.

It is a huge achievement if we make it to semis let alone finals with this diabolical combo. lol

 

[sweep_shot]

I don't think they will win. Let's see.

I personally want South Africa to win. They deserve it with the team they have.

A Kohli past his peak seems enough to single hianded defeat Pakistan having an average of over 200 in thsi tournament so far. I am not saying India will win but they definitely have a good chance to beat ENG in semis.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Only Australia would have knocked out India from this tournament. England will choke in Semis and NZ in Finals. This is going to be 2nd Cup for India.

Bit like Jadeja playing the entire 2010s India not winning in any of them. Many times kicked out in the first round

 

[Ab Fan]

India's case is different than other teams. They do well vs Australia but struggles vs New Zealand and it is anyone's game vs England.

Since 2007, India beat Australia in 2007 Semis, 2011 QF and 2016 WT20 virtual knockout. They only lost in 2015 semis but in that tournament, Australia as favourites.

He posted that on 22nd October. There is no point in replying to that post now. He was correct at that time.

If you care to look at Jadeja's record vs top 8 teams in World T20 with either bat or bowl, it would be nothing less than embarrassing. He has costed us big time with his bits and pieces cricket in LOIs especially T20Is.

 

[Kroll]

Only two games from success in the annual Indian Games

Apt name, everything is stacked heavily in their favour so India to win the India Cup in the Indian Games. Pakistan should also complain about being fixed to play them in every ICC tournament so BCCI/ICC can reap the financial rewards.

Even the umpires were awarding dodgy decisions for their benefit ala Nawaz no ball. Pakistan would never have got that decision if they had been batting in that situation.

Roll on the football World Cup.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Yeah. SF exit is OK. Any more and we have overachieved. Only reason we even reached this far is because Pakistan are literally minnows when you get pitches like Perth

22 matches 9 innings 15.83 avge 96.93 strike rate 1 six This is his batting record in world T20. Played 5 world T20s.

Seriously poor stats these.

Bowling average is 37 also.

 

[Mesozoic]

Our batting pretty much ends at 4 with SKY.
Pandya is hit and miss with the bat and the likes of DK, Axar and Ashwin are just not good enough for 6,7 and 8 positions. And bowling is made to look better than it actually is, thanks to the sporting wickets but even that has many holes (death bowling +average spinners) .


But of course, this is a fluke format so won't be surprised if I'm proven wrong.

Kiwis for me.

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Nobody cares if India wins.

So many controversies has happened in their games.

The cricketing world is not gonna respect their victory.

 

[IAJ]

If everything goes as most think tomorrow, India will play England in semi-final. That will be the biggest game of the tournament. The winner there will probably also win the final.

Like to see NZ win it after all their near misses, then perhaps SA though its amusing to see them always mess up somewhere along the line then laugh at them, be it on their own or by the weather.

India tapping in to the very best talent again. Qué Sera, the world cups are nigh
