Ahead of the much-awaited clash in the final of the 2024 T20 World Cup, former India women's cricketer Renuka Dua spoke to IANS in an exclusive chat and shared her thoughts about the final.
Excerpts from Renuka Dua's interview on T20 World Cup final:
Q. What are your thoughts on India's performance throughout the tournament?
Answer: First of all I would like to say that the team is performing very well under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma and if we maintain the same charisma then naturally we will win the cup. I would only like to say that our opening partnership should remain at the crease till the initial overs as this will increase the pressure on the other team.
Q. South Africa has also been unbeaten in the entire tournament. What would be your advice against such a team?
Answer: Our performance has been exceptional, the only part where South Africa dominate is probably fielding so we have to take cheeky singles and attack the loose balls. I have no doubt that we are a much better team than South Africa.
Q. How would you evaluate Rohit Sharma's tenure as India captain?
Answer: Rohit Sharma has consistently performed well as captain. We reached the final in the ODI World Cup but luck was not with us. We have once again been unbeaten throughout the tournament and we are hoping and praying that India will win the cup this time.
