The former spinner of the left arm expressed his confidence in the overall form of Team India before the end of the tournament affairs. He thinks that the team has no major concern between the departments, citing solid performance against stronger oppositions in the group phase.
“They are pretty good, according to what they did against the most imaginary sides. They were perfect in their team selections. Yes, Arshdeep did not get a game but the way the spinners and Jasprit Bumrah were overturned and the way the strikers came out, everything looked in contact,” explained Kartik.
Kartik, however, noted that India looked slightly moderate in their confrontation against Omansuggesting that the team might not have been fully on.
