Rohit Sharma, Rahul Dravid Warned of 'Big Risk' in India's T20 World Cup Squad by Clarke: '...the Biggest Threat'

Rohit Sharma and the Indian team will play their first T20 World Cup match against Ireland on June 5.

As the T20 World Cup approaches, experts and former players are sharing their views on the teams most likely to win. India is considered one of the favorites to win the title, aiming for their first T20 World Cup victory since the 2007 inaugural edition.

Michael Clarke has mentioned that India is the biggest threat to Australia’s chances of winning the T20 World Cup again. The former Australia captain believes India are favorites due to the amount of cricket their players have played before the tournament.

'Spin is Going to Play a Big Role'

Clarke stated that India has taken a risk by selecting a spin-heavy bowling lineup. India has chosen four spinners: Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel as all-rounders, and Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal as specialist spinners.

“I think India has taken a risk with their squad - heavily reliant on spin, very different from Australia. But in the conditions I have played in the Caribbean, how you play spin will be crucial to success. India is the biggest threat regarding who will win the World Cup,” said Clarke.
