Rohit Sharma’s poor form- Currently, India’s legendary batsman and captain Rohit Sharma is struggling with poor form. In 5 matches, he scored only one half-century against the Netherlands. Against South Africa, Bangladesh, Zimbabwe and Pakistan were not able to perform much. In such a situation, it is very important for Rohit Sharma to return to form if England is to be defeated in the semi-finals.
England’s bowling challenge
By the way, there is no big name in England’s bowlers at the moment. But amidst favorable conditions, the bowlers there can pose a threat to India’s batsmen. England’s Marg Wood will prove to be a headache for India. His pace and bowling variations can trouble the batsmen. Apart from this, Chris Woakes and Sam Curran are also in good form. These bowlers are getting good momentum on the Australian pitch.

End dependence on Suryakumar Yadav and Virat Kohli- The Indian team is currently relying more on Suryakumar Yadav and Virat Kohli. This is also because the bat of both the batsmen is speaking a lot in the T20 World Cup. In some matches, KL Rahul has also done wonders with the bat. But still Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant, Dinesh Karthik have not been able to do anything special with their bat in the middle order. In such a situation, they will have to play their role in strengthening the middle order.
Work in bowling Indian bowling has looked weak in the big matches of Super 12. Not only this, the strength of Indian bowling was also less visible against Bangladesh and Netherlands. England batsmen are in good form. In such a situation, the Indian bowlers will have to bowl well. Arshdeep Singh, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammed Shami are playing in the team continuously as fast bowlers. Captain Rohit Sharma is also counting on him. Will have to take early wickets against England. Not only this, the spinners also have more responsibility in the middle overs. In such a situation, R Ashwin and Axar Patel will also have to do well.

fielding- India’s fielding has not been special this time in the T20 World Cup. Good fielding is needed from India. In big matches, saving 1-1 is the most important thing. In the match against South Africa, senior players also made many mistakes in fielding. In such a situation, these mistakes can harm the team in a big match.
