‘Most of the boxes are ticked’ – Sairaj Bahutule on India’s 2027 World Cup preparations

2027 World Cup ki taiyari: Kya Team India South Africa mein phod payegi?

Cricket fans ke liye ek bahut badi update samne aa rahi hai. 2027 World Cup preparations ko lekar Team India ne apna plan ekdum clear kar diya hai. Abhi se countdown shuru ho chuka hai kyunki 2027 ka mahasangram South Africa, Zimbabwe aur Namibia ki pitches par khela jayega. Sabse badi baat yeh hai ki India ke paas ab 20 se bhi kam ODI matches bache hain, isliye har ek match ko ek testing ground ki tarah dekha ja raha hai. West Indies series, jisme Thiruvananthapuram aur Guwahati jaise venues shamil hain, is preparation phase ka ek bahut hi crucial hissa hai.

Combinations aur Naye Chehron par Focus

Abhi team mein kuch bade players ki kami mehsoos ho rahi hai kyunki kai stars Asian Games ki wajah se ya phir injuries ki wajah se bahar hain. Lekin BCCI aur team management is situation ko ek mauke ki tarah dekh rahe hain. India’s spin coach Sairaj Bahutule ne Guwahati mein second ODI se pehle ek bahut hi interesting baat kahi. Unhone bataya ki yeh series humein alag-alag combinations ko parakhne ka ek sunhera mauka de rahi hai.

Sairaj Bahutule ne press conference mein bataya ki team ka main maqsad yeh dekhna hai ki kaun sa bowler kis phase mein sabse zyada impact daal sakta hai. Isi soch ke saath Nitish ko nayi ball di ja rahi hai. Woh na sirf ek behtareen bowler hain balki batting mein bhi team ko stability de sakte hain. Is tarah ke all-rounders ka role 2027 World Cup mein bahut bada hone wala hai. Iske saath hi Gurnoor Brar jaise young bowlers ko bhi naye ball se bowling karne ka chance diya ja raha hai taaki unka confidence badh sake.

South Africa ki Conditions aur Pace Attack ka Challenge

Jab hum 2027 World Cup ki baat karte hain, toh South Africa ki pitches ka naam sabse pehle dimaag mein aata hai. Wahan ki pitches par bounce aur seam movement bahut zyada milti hai. Isliye India ke liye sirf spinners par depend rehna kaafi nahi hoga. Sairaj Bahutule ne saaf kar diya ki team management ka focus ab dheere-dheere un conditions ki taraf shift ho raha hai jo South Africa mein milengi.

Pace department ko lekar bhi abhi kaafi uncertainty hai. Team management abhi tak yeh final nahi kar paya hai ki unka main attack kya hoga. Bahutule ke mutabik, sabse bada sawal yeh hai ki kya hum teen pure fast bowlers ke saath ek fourth seamer ya ek all-rounder rakhenge. Yeh balance hona bahut zaroori hai taaki agar pitch se help na mile, toh bhi hamara attack pressure bana kar rakh sake. Is phase mein har bowler ko ample opportunities di ja rahi hain taaki 2027 tak ek solid lineup taiyar ho sake.

Fielding aur Dew ka Mushkil Challenge

Sirf bowling aur batting hi nahi, India apni fielding par bhi din-raat mehnat kar raha hai. Sairaj Bahutule ne ek bahut hi practical point uthaya. Unhone kaha ki lights ke niche fielding karna aur khaas kar jab dew ya os ka asar ho, toh yeh ek bahut bada challenge ban jata hai. Agar ball pakadne mein ya ground par movement mein zara si bhi deri hui, toh match ka pura rukh badal sakta hai. Isliye fielding ko improve karna ek continuous work in progress hai.

Ant mein, Sairaj Bahutule ka manna hai ki most of the boxes are ticked. Yani ki team ki taiyari sahi disha mein ja rahi hai. Squad mein unke paas kafi experience bhi hai aur naye youth ka tadka bhi. Agar yeh combination sahi se set ho gaya, toh 2027 World Cup mein trophy uthana Team India ke liye koi badi baat nahi hogi. Fans ko bas ab yeh dekhna hai ki yeh naye combinations kitna asar dikhate hain.
