Women’s T20 WC: Aakash Chopra Feels India Will 'have To Go Through A Trial By Fire' In Group Stage
T20 World Cup: Former India opener Aakash Chopra believes India's quest for the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 title will be shaped by a demanding group-stage campaign, but he sees the challenge as a necessary test for a team aspiring to become world champions.
Drawn alongside heavyweight opponents Australia and South Africa, India face one of the tournament's toughest paths to the knockout stages. Chopra, however, argued that there is no easy route to lifting a World Cup.
“You will have to beat either South Africa or Australia. If you're not in this group, then you'll get New Zealand and England. So, you are going to be up against at least two formidable opponents. And if you want to win the World Cup, you will have to go through a trial by fire,” Chopra told JioStar.
