If India win the series 3-1, this will be their 14th consecutive T20I series triumph. So far in a T20 series that is being played between the two finalists of the last T20 World Cup, India have had the upper hand.<\/p>\n

Without Abhishek Sharma, India\u2019s top-order strike rate dips from 147.79 to 124.20 \u2013 one of weakest Top 4 in the world

It is a practice the current India head coach Gautam Gambhir despises, but for the swelling run crisis among the top-order faculty, his team had to turn to their newfound \u2018superstar\u2019 to allay fears before the penultimate T20I against South Africa in Lucknow.<\/p>\n

Captain Suryakumar Yadav and his deputy, Shubman Gill, are in a diabolical rut. The senior has not strummed his blade with sustained quality for nearly the entire year. Meanwhile, the under-fire vice-captain, has not lasted long enough to relay the niceties of his IPL template and provide context to India\u2019s sudden anchor-accumulator fallback at the top.<\/p>\n

Even a tepid 118-run chase up in Dharamsala could not help the leadership group catch a break. Instead, it was up to the format\u2019s new batting maverick, Abhishek Sharma, to repose faith in Suryakumar and Gill\u2019s match-winning abilities before the T20 World Cup defence begins in Mumbai, in 50 days.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrust me, Suryakumar and Shubman will win matches for India in the World Cup, and in the matches before that as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If India win the series 3-1, this will be their 14th consecutive T20I series triumph.
