T20 World Cup 2026: In the T20 World Cup 2026, India has made it to the final by defeating England in the semi-finals, but now along with happiness, some concerns have also increased for the team management and fans. Especially the recent performance of world number-1 T20 batsman Abhishek Sharma and world number-1 T20 bowler Varun Chakraborty has raised questions in front of the team.

Due to which there is a lot of discussion about changes in the playing eleven before the final.

When will Abhishek Sharma get a chance?

Abhishek Sharma, who entered the tournament as number-1 in the ICC T20 batting rankings, has been struggling with disappointing form so far in this World Cup. He has scored only 89 runs in 7 matches, which includes only one half-century. The rest of the innings have been very weak, many times he has returned to the pavilion on ducks and low scores.

He proved to be a flop in the semi-finals also. His strike rate and average have come down considerably. Although he is known for his explosive batting, which has not been seen yet.

In such a situation, the big question before the team is whether Abhishek should be given a chance in the finals? There are strong finishers like Rinku Singh and other options in the squad, who can adjust in the top order. Continued poor performance has put his place at risk. In such a situation, the team management can take some big step before the final match.

Varun Chakraborty also increased the tension

On the other hand, Varun Chakraborty is also not looking in form. In the tournament, he has taken 13 wickets in 8 matches, but his economy rate has reached 8.85, which is quite expensive. In the semi-finals, he gave away 64 runs in 4 overs, which was the worst performance of his career. In the last 4 matches, he has been able to take only 1 wicket each and has spent 40+ runs thrice. In the initial matches, he was a very economical and wicket-taking bowler, but now under pressure he is proving to be expensive.

There is a star spinner like Kuldeep Yadav in the squad, who can prove to be a better option in the final, especially on the Ahmedabad pitch where spinners are more effective.

Varun has mystery spin, but the recent decline has forced the team to think. Will management maintain the trust or make changes?
