Rohit Sharma's scores of 11 and 26 in the first two ODIs have accentuated the talk around his future ahead of the third and final match against England at Lord's on Sunday.

India head coach Gautam Gambhir and his support staff have come under fire following back-to-back T20I series defeats to Ireland and England.

India's coaching staff could undergo major changes in the near future, with one support staff member likely to join an IPL franchise.

The coach also stressed that the think-tank does not believe in shifting the batters around the positions, especially since they have done so well in that space earlier.

As the defending champions India gear up for their T20 World Cup semi-final clash against England, Indian bowling coach Morne Morkel highlighted dew as a concern.

Ahead of India's T20 World Cup 2026 semi-final clash against England, Indian bowling coach Morne Morkel backed struggling Abhishek Sharma for coming good in the semi-final, saying that the important thing for the left-hander is to revisit his "feel good moments" and "start from zero".

In three T20 WC matches so far, Sanju Samson has made 143 runs at an average of 71.50 and a strike rate of 195.89, with a fifty to his name.

In Mumbai and Ahmedabad, most of the Indian batters struggled to force the pace as there was underlying moisture in one surface and the ball did grip a bit in the other.

After remaining unbeaten in Group A, the defending champions will head into the Super 8s with a high-voltage clash against South Africa on February 22.

Abhishek Sharma is yet to open his account in the current edition of the tournament and during Friday's training, he was seen spending considerable time with head coach Gautam Gambhir.
