India should be happy just to have made it this far in the World Cup of Darts, as it will take a lot for them to get past the group stage.
Players: Nitin Kumar / Mohan Goel
This year’s World Cup of Darts will be more of a learning experience for India. The team consists of Nitin Kumar and Mohan Goel, and they are not players who can match Czech Republic or Taiwan, who are in their group.
India starts with a match against the Czech Republic on Thursday, followed by Taiwan on Friday. We would be very surprised if the team does not finish last in this group.
Nitin Kumar is India’s top player and certainly made an impression at last year’s World Championship. In fact, he stood out in the first round when he faced Martin Lukeman. It ended in a 3-1 loss after Kumar won the first set.
However, we do not see this pair advancing from the group unless something unusual happens.
