While India national cricket team booked their place in the final with a thrilling seven-run win over England national cricket team at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday, former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan believes the team management must now focus on rebuilding the confidence of mystery spinner Varun Chakaravarthy.

India beat England by seven runs in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 semi-final at Wankhede Stadium, courtesy of their massive score, which was made possible by Sanju Samson’s blazing knock. England staged a comeback with a sensational hundred by Jacob Bethell, which took the game to the wire against India. In spite of their win, there is growing concern over India’s bowling, especially after Varun Chakaravarthy’s expensive spell. In view of their upcoming final against New Zealand national cricket team, which is scheduled to take place at Ahmedabad, there is growing debate over whether Kuldeep Yadav should be included to bolster their attack.
