India's assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate has acknowledged two pressing issues facing the team heading into the Super 8s of T20 World Cup.

India registered a comfortable 61-run victory over Pakistan in their highly-anticipated T20 World Cup 2026 group stage encounter in Colombo on Sunday.

Amid the still-smouldering embers of an impasse that mixed cricket with politics like never before, India will need middle-order stability and a fully fit Abhishek Sharma to maintain domination over Pakistan when the two bitter rivals clash in the T20 World Cup's marquee fixture on Sunday.

Pakistan took a U-turn on boycotting the marquee clash against India in Colombo after pressure from the International Cricket Council and other member nations.

India lost six wickets quickly in their tournament opener against the USA on February 7 before rallying to emerge comfortable winners.

In the high-pressure Asia Cup 2025 final against Pakistan, India's Tilak Varma scored a match-winning 69 not out.

Abhishek Sharma was out for a duck against the USA in the opening game on Saturday in Mumbai and took no further part after that with Sanju Samson replacing him while fielding.

Former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar made his thoughts clear on India's display against USA in their T20 World Cup 2026 match.

On the eve of India's World Cup opener - a match cheekily billed as Green Card versus Aadhaar Card - Suryakumar Yadav chose not to overthink cricket's most fashionable debate.

India batter Tilak Varma was seemingly not best pleased with teammate Arshdeep Singh's decision to film videos inside the dressing room.
