There is a rise after every fall and this fall might help them in the World Cup - Shoaib Akhtar on Team India

Team India's preparations for the World Cup have taken a huge hit with their recent disappointing results and piling injury concerns. The Men in Blue look in disarray as they attempt to find the right combination while coping with the loss of key players. Noting that this is a learning curve for Team India, Akhtar said: "I do not think India played very poorly; they did not play well, that is a fact, but there is a rise after every fall, and this fall might help them in the World Cup." Akhtar added: "India should not be disheartened, but they should learn from this. They should find their final playing XI. Rohit Sharma has to sharpen up his captaincy as well." The absence of Jasprit Bumrah, Harshal Patel, and Ravindra Jadeja have hit the team hard. Rishabh Pant's poor form in the shortest format continues to be a mounting problem amid a selection conundrum for the wicketkeeping position. India will take on Afghanistan in their final Super 4 game on Thursday (September 8). Will Team India mount a strong comeback in the upcoming home season and the T20 World Cup?
