The IPL 2024 is currently at its halfway stage, with some teams clearly standing out as the top performers while others are lagging behind. Rajasthan Royals, SunRisers Hyderabad, and Kolkata Knight Riders are among the top three sides, while Delhi Capitals, Punjab Kings, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru are at the bottom of the standings.
As the tournament progresses, it’s clear that a number of players are struggling to find their form. Aaron Finch, former Australia batter and current Indian cricket team commentator, has expressed concerns about players like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Hardik Pandya who have struggled in the IPL. Despite their poor form, Finch believes that there’s still hope for these players to improve and make significant contributions to India’s chances in the upcoming T20 World Cup in 2024.
Finch also highlighted the importance of spin bowling in T20 cricket matches. He mentioned Kuldeep Yadav and Arshdeep Singh as key bowlers who have shown promise despite facing challenges with form currently. With Jasprit Bumrah not performing up to expectations, Finch believes that spin bowling could play a crucial role in India’s success in the tournament.
As India prepares for one of its most important international tournaments in recent years, Finch remains optimistic about the team’s potential to rise to the occasion and compete at their best. With seven weeks left before the tournament and plenty of games left to play, he believes that there’s still time for players to find their form and make significant contributions to India’s success on the field.
