T20 World Cup 2024: 3 groups formed in Team India

The T20 World Cup 2024 is coming up, and the Indian team has started their preparations. Virat Kohli has also reached America to join the team. However, the biggest problem the Indian team faces is that there are three groups within the team.

The Indian team has traveled to the US to practice for this ICC event. To win the World Cup, they need to play as a united team. But right now, there are three different groups within the team. This kind of division was also seen in the 2007 World Cup when the team couldn’t advance past the group stage.

Suryakumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Shreyas Iyer, Kuldeep Yadav, and Yuzvendra Chahal are often seen hanging out with Rohit. You will usually see pictures of them together. Whether they are eating or just spending time, these six friends are often seen together. They might be with the captain or just among themselves, but they always stay close.

T20 World Cup 2024 Team Dynamics Unveiled :

You might see these six people together, or you might see them with the captain. If you look closely, you will notice that players from one group often play with players from another group. These six players are very close to Captain Rohit.

This doesn’t mean they have problems with other players, but groups have formed. Let me explain the impact of this. First, there is Captain Rohit’s group, which has been around for a long time. Then, there is Captain Hardik Pandya’s group. Vice-Captain Hardik is very involved in the game.

Sometimes it seems like there is tension between Rohit and Hardik. This can affect team performance. Hardik often talks with Akshar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, and another player. These three players are close to Hardik Pandya.

T20 World Cup 2024 Group Dynamics Explained :

You live in a group and can’t help another group. Let me explain why. You are in the third group. This group isn’t with Hardik or Rohit. It includes Virat, Arshdeep Singh, Shivam, Bhugesh, and Sanjay Samson.

These players don’t care about Rohit’s or Hardik’s groups. They live in their own world and enjoy themselves. It’s not like this group will play for the Indian team. They focus on their skills without bothering others.

When teams split into three groups, they don’t bond as one team. They stay separate, which affects their performance. This is why the 2030 World Cup didn’t go well for them.

Why did the India team do so well in the 2023 World Cup? The team had one strong group led by Rohit Sharma. Even when Hardik Pandya was out of the World Cup, there was no problem in the team. Everyone was on the same page and worked together, which is why their performance was so great.

If they were not united, and if there were issues like we heard from America about Hardik Pandya and Rohit Sharma not talking much, things would have been different. If problems like that continue, this World Cup could turn into a bad dream for them.
