Bumrah, the leading fast bowler, has returned to the Indian team. Also, Pakistan fast bowler Shakeen Shah Afridi, who has recovered from injury, has been included in the squad for the World Cup. In this situation, during the interview given by the former Australian captain Ricky Ponting, the question was asked who will perform better in the World Cup between Bumrah and Shakeen Shah Afridi.
He responded by saying, I think Bumrah is ahead of Shakeen Shah Afridi. I am answering based on experience. Bumrah has played some cricket in Australia. Bumrah has played more in Australia and in bigger tournaments than Shakeen Shah Afridi. He said he hopes that Bumrah will perform better than Afridi in the World Cup.

Rishabh should be included in the Indian team – Gilchrist
The only ongoing debate in the Indian team is whether to pick a Rishabh Pant-Dinesh Karthik playing XI or someone else. Rishabh Pant did not make good use of the opportunity given in the last Asia Cup match. It is expected that Dinesh Karthik will be given a chance in the playing eleven in the upcoming T20 World Cup.
In this situation, the former captain of the Australian team and the best wicket-keeper batsman Adam Gilchrist said about this. Rishabh Pant is a very courageous player. The way he approaches bowling, I think he should definitely be in the Indian playing XI. They can play together, but Rishabh Pant should definitely be in the team. He said that it will be interesting if both play in the same team.
