Ravi Shastri clearly stated that teams like India and Australia have the ability to achieve this feat. Both teams have aggressive batsmen in their top order who can put pressure on the opposition bowlers right from the start. According to Shastri, if an opening batsman scores a century and others provide good support, scoring 300 runs is no longer a dream.

Notably, the highest team score in T20 World Cup history so far is 260 runs. This record was achieved by Sri Lanka against Kenya in 2007. But the nature of cricket has changed, the bat, the pitch and the fitness—all now encouraging a more aggressive game. As a result, the chances of getting a big score are also increased.

Talking about the Indian team, Shastri called the Suryakumar Yadav-led team as the big contenders for the title. But at the same time he warned about stress. The pressure of playing at home and maintaining previous success can take its toll on players. According to him, a poor performance of just 10-15 minutes in a T20 match can change the course of the entire tournament.

But overall, the biggest strength of the Indian team is their batting depth. Shastri believes that if the team can get off to a good start, they can easily overcome the big hurdles. India will begin their World Cup campaign on February 7, with a match against the United States at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Now it is to be seen how much Shastri’s prediction comes true on the field.
