ICC T20 World Cup 2024 will happen in June, and the Indian squad for the mega event will be announced soon. New Zealand have already named the squad. The deadline for the squad announcement for all boards is May 1.
The Indian squad can come out any time soon. There is an outside chance that the selectors will reward the IPL heroes with a place in the team. Here’s a look at India’s probable 15-man squad for the T20 World Cup 2024.
Top Order – Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma (c), Virat Kohli, KL Rahul (wk) and Suryakumar Yadav
The top four of the playing XI is more or less confirmed. Left-handed Yashasvi Jaiswal may start the innings with skipper Rohit Sharma. Virat Kohli will bat at his usual position, which is number three, followed by world’s best T20I batter, Suryakumar Yadav. KL Rahul could be the backup.
Middle Order – Sanju Samson (wk), Rishabh Pant (wk), Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Shivam Dube and Ravindra Jadeja
The two main all-rounders of the team will be Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja. The two main wicketkeepers will be Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson, while the two finishers of the squad will be left-handed pair of Rinku Singh and Shivam Dube.
Bowlers for India in ICC T20 World Cup 2024 – Jasprit Bumrah, Harshal Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav
If Hardik Pandya is fully fit to bowl four overs in every game, India can travel to USA with Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel as two pacers. It will also allow the team to have Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav as the two primary spinners. The backups for the squad can be Shreyas Iyer, Arshdeep Singh and Ravi Bishnoi.
Predicted Indian squad for ICC T20 World Cup 2024: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma (c), Virat Kohli, KL Rahul (wk), Sanju Samson (wk), Rishabh Pant (wk), Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Suryakumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Harshal Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav.
