Team India’s Probable T20 World Cup 2024 Squad Announced
Rohit Sharma will lead India in T20 World Cup 2024.
The highly anticipated T20 World Cup 2024 is set to kick off in June, following an electrifying Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season. According to recent updates, participating teams are required to confirm their squads for the prestigious tournament by May 1st.
With the tournament’s ninth edition on the horizon, let’s take a look at the possible squad composition for Team India:
In the opening roles, we anticipate Indian captain Rohit Sharma to partner with the promising young talent Yashasvi Jaiswal for Team India.
Alongside them, the experienced Virat Kohli, a linchpin in T20 cricket, is set to lead the batting lineup, accompanied by Rinku Singh and Suryakumar Yadav.
There’s a possibility of including Punjab batter Shubman Gill in India’s squad as a backup option for the middle order, although his chances of making it into the starting XI seem slim due to his recent struggles in T20Is.
For the all-rounder roles, India’s vice-captain, Hardik Pandya, is set to feature as the primary fast-bowling all-rounder, with Shivam Dube likely to serve as backup following his impressive performances in recent T20 internationals.
In the wicket-keeping department, Jitesh Sharma is likely to be included in the squad alongside the seasoned Sanju Samson. The final decision on who will don the gloves in the T20 World Cup 2024 will depend on the standout performer of IPL 2024.
For the fast bowling department, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj are poised to spearhead Team India’s pace attack, while the spin duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Ravi Bishnoi are set to secure their spots in the squad.
The left-arm pacer, Arshdeep Singh is also expected to secure a place as a backup pacer while Axar Patel will get a place as a backup spin bowling all-rounder.
