India's T20I Batting Struggles Ahead of World Cup
The Indian cricket team is facing some problems with their top batsmen before the T20 World Cup.
Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav, who are usually very good, are not scoring many runs right now.
This is making the team worry because they need to do well in the World Cup.
Some people think Gill should try to play like Virat Kohli did, by staying at the crease for a long time and scoring steadily.
Others are worried because without Abhishek Sharma, who is a fast scorer, the team's batting is not as strong.
The team's coach, Gautam Gambhir, is trying to find solutions to these problems before the World Cup starts.
Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav are struggling with their batting form ahead of the T20 World Cup.
Deep Dasgupta suggests Gill should emulate Virat Kohli's anchoring role to provide stability.
Without Abhishek Sharma, India's top-order strike rate drops significantly.
India's bowling department is seen as a strength that could help overcome batting struggles.
The team has limited time to address these issues before the World Cup begins.
