India’s 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup is filled with experienced players, but there are concerns about how they will handle the fast-paced run rates that are common in T20 cricket. Led by Rohit Sharma, the team is known for its strength in pace bowling and spin bowling. Jasprit Bumrah, considered one of the best pacemen in the world, joins forces with spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal to make for a formidable bowling unit. Suryakumar Yadav’s return from injury is another positive aspect, along with captain Virat Kohli’s strong performance in the IPL.
However, India lacks all-rounders and game-changing players, unlike teams such as Australia. The pace bowling unit has its weaknesses, with Mohammed Siraj and Arshdeep Singh struggling at times. The absence of Mohammed Shami due to injury is keenly felt, and the team lacks strong fielders. Despite these challenges, there is an opportunity for India to redeem themselves after falling short in the ODI World Cup and win only their second T20 World Cup.
The squad includes Rohit Sharma (c), Hardik Pandya (vc), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (wk), Sanju Samson (wk), Shivam Dube
