Acing death overs: What's holding Indian finishers back this season?
Hindustan Times Rajasthan
|May 07, 2025
Is Indian T20 batting as good at the backend as they are at the top?
KOLKATA: For years Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have adapted to the format while MS Dhoni, followed by Hardik Pandya have provided exhilarating finishes. With time more intent has been welded in, so much so that now we have a supply line teeming with uncapped talent. To the already explosive top-order now add the promise of Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh. But who takes over as finisher in the longer run?
Rinku Singh has been at the forefront of this debate, shuttling between No. 4 for India and No. 5 or 6 for KKR. Tilak Varma has done well at No. 5 in the IPL but he too has been tried more often at No. 3 for India. Dhruv Jurel has been tapped, along with Riyan Parag and Washington Sundar. Rahul Tewatia was in the picture for a while but with the emergence of the likes of Ashutosh Sharma and Shashank Singh, the race has intensified. This IPL should have given more clarity but it seems we still have more questions.
