T20 World Cup Group: The Indian team knows exactly how to bounce back from adversity and possesses the mental fortitude required for emerging triumphant in high-stakes matches, said off-spin bowling all-rounder Deepti Sharma ahead of their crucial 2026 Women's T20 World Cup Group A fixture against Bangladesh.
India will face Bangladesh at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground here with an aim to keep themselves in contention for the semi-finals, especially after suffering a six-wicket defeat to South Africa on June 21.
“A champion team always looks to make a strong comeback. As a team, we do know how to come back from here and we know the strength of the whole team. We know how to bring in a positive frame of mind in each other, and how to give positive vibes to our people from left to right,” said Deepti in a video posted by the BCCI on their social media accounts on Thursday.
She also stated that the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side remains unfazed by setbacks, and are banking on their collective self-belief to deliver under pressure, citing the historic ODI World Cup turnaround – where they went from three consecutive league stage defeats to winning the trophy on home soil.
