Former cricketer Atul Wassan said India’s performance has matched expectations. According to him, the team looks stronger than any other side in the tournament. He believes India has the right mix of skills to dominate.

Fielding drops raise concern

Wassan pointed out one weak link in India’s campaign. He highlighted the number of dropped catches, noting that a top side cannot afford to miss so many chances. He called it “an odd phase” and urged players to tighten their fielding.

Super Four matches exposed the issue

Against Pakistan in the Super Fours, India dropped four catches. In the clash with Bangladesh, Saif Hassan survived four missed chances before Axar Patel finally dismissed him for 69 runs. These lapses have drawn attention.

Stats underline the problem

India has dropped 12 catches in the tournament. Their fielding efficiency stands at 67.5 percent, the second lowest among all teams. This number underlines the urgency to improve before the final.

Final brings high pressure

Wassan reminded fans that every catch matters in T20 cricket. Strong batting and bowling alone cannot guarantee wins if simple chances are missed. He believes sharper fielding could decide whether India wins smoothly or faces a tense finish in the final.
