New Delhi: The countdown for T20 World Cup 2021 has started. The tournament will start from 17th October. Australia and New Zealand have announced their squads for the T20 World Cup 2021, but other teams including India are yet to be announced. With 10-12 names almost fixed in the Indian team, Gautam Gambhir has picked India’s X-factor for the prestigious tournament.

When it comes to batting, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are definitely considered to be one of the biggest batsmen of the Indian team. Even then, Gambhir believes that Jasprit Bumrah will prove to be the X-factor of the Indian team in the T20 World Cup 2021. Gambhir said, ‘Indian team has many chances to win the title. India has strong players in every department. India have great batting and spinners are also present. The team also has good fast bowlers. When you have a player like Jasprit Bumrah, you always have that X factor. Bumrah can prove to be the biggest X factor in T20 World Cup.

India is a strong contender for the title: Gautam Gambhir

Gambhir conceded that the Indian team is built around Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, but if Bumrah continues, India will become a strong contender for the T20 World Cup title. He said, ‘I am sure you will build the team about Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. But one person will be noticed, that is Jasprit Bumrah. Because if their form continues, India will become a strong contender for the title.

Bumrah’s performance for the last one year has not been strong, but in the ongoing Test series against England, the fast bowler seems to be finding his rhythm. Bumrah’s good form will be better known in IPL 2021. Gambhir further said that England and West Indies are his favorite teams to progress from Group A.

Gambhir said, ‘You have asked me difficult questions many times. England and West Indies are two strong contenders from Group A. For the title, the former cricketer believes that any of England, New Zealand and India can play the final. There could be a final between England vs India or New Zealand.
