The Indian team has got its preparation underway for the upcoming 20-20 world cup in the ongoing Asia Cup. The Men in Blue have made a great start to the tournament having won both of their matches so far. Despite having a good run in the tournament, the Indian team have still got many boxes to tick before their opening match in the world cup on the 24th of October. In this article we will be taking a look at three major issues for the Indian team that they need to work on before the mega tournament in Australia:
Form of the top order

The Indian top order is having a dismal run of late. The trio of Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli have been going through the worst phase of their career. Rahul is making a return to the team after an injury that kept him out of the team since the home South Africa T20 series in June. Rohit, on the other hand, has been struggling with form as he’s averaging just 23 in the year so far with just one half-century in 15 games.
After struggling for the entire year across formats, Kohli finally showed some positivity at the crease in the last match against Hong Kong. The batter played with intent and didn’t shy away from hitting big shots. The Indian team desperately needs the trio to be in the form before the mega tournament as they plan to go bonkers right from ball one.
