IND vs NED T20 World Cup 2026 Live: Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav At Rescue Act In Ahmedabad

Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma need to stick at the crease for a while, although India have a pretty deep batting lineup.

Suryakumar Yadav has provided stability to the Indian batting lineup and the Indian captain will have to lead from the front once again.

Ishan Kishan tries for a sweep off Aryan Dutt. He fails to connect it properly and the ball comes off his thigh pad and then hits his arm before hitting into his stumps.

India bat prettu deep, but the likes of Tilak Varma and Hardik Pandya need to come up with handy contributions.

Aryan Dutt has been on top so far for the Netherlands.

Ishan Kishan has been in stupendous form and has already made his intent known already with a boundary.

The onus will be on Tilak Varma and Ishan Kishan to rebuild from the scratch.

Abhishek Sharma has recorded his 3rd consecutive drought.

Michael Levitt, Max O'Dowd, Bas de Leede, Colin Ackermann, Scott Edwards (capt & wk), Zach Lion-Cachet, Logan van Beek, Noah Croes, Aryan Dutt, Roelof van der Merwe, Kyle Klein.

Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan (wk), Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (capt), Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Shivam Dube, Washington Sundar, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakravarthy.

India have won the toss and will bat first against the Netherlands.  Arshdeep Singh and Washington Sundar come in place of Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel.

Arshdeep Singh has been spotted marking his run-up on the pitch and the left-arm pacer might be one of the few changes India might make.

India's Schedule For Super 8 Stage

• India vs South Africa, February 22, Ahmedabad (7:00 PM)
• India vs Zimbabwe, February 26, Chennai (7:00 PM)
• India vs West Indies, March 1, Kolkata (7:00 PM)

The famed batting lineup has struggled to live up to the expectations and the likes of Tilak Varma, Abhishek Sharma and Hardik Pandya need to step up.

Given that they have already qualified for the Super Eight stage, the likes of Mohammed Siraj and Arshdeep Singh could be given a start.

Both matches at the Narendra Modi Stadium have been a run feast and if India bat first, Abhishek Sharma should get it going.

Batting coach Sitanshu Kotak said, “I haven't seen the pitch yet. I have come straight here. I think the team will decide after seeing the wicket and practice. I don't think so about the rest. But if they decide something like that in the evening, that will also be tonight. Definitely not decided.”
