BCCI announces India squad for T20 World Cup 2024
2024.04.30
The 15-member team for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, which will take place in the United States and the West Indies, has been announced by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The greatest surprise is the inclusion of Sanju Samson and the absence of wicket-keeper batsman KL Rahul in the team, which was revealed on Wednesday, May 1.
The team is made up of a healthy mix of accomplished athletes and interesting newcomers. The backbone of the batting lineup will consist of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, and the highly effective Rishabh Pant. Along with the seasoned Hardik Pandya, the addition of youthful players Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shivam Dube gives the middle order more depth and adaptability.
The choice of Sanju as the backup wicketkeeper-batsman is the main topic of discussion over the team. Surprisingly, Rahul, who was first seen as the front-runner for the position, has been passed over. Samson’s reliable IPL performances and adept wicket-keeping appear to have won the selectors over.
The bowling assault uses a powerful combination of spin and speed. Arshdeep Singh’s swing will counterbalance Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah’s fast speed. The crafty spin combo of Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav lead the way, with additional spin options provided by seasoned all-rounders Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja.
With the goal of winning the cherished trophy for the first time since 2007, India will compete in the T20 World Cup. With a combination of young enthusiasm and experience, this well-rounded team has the ability to win it all.
The team’s performance in their quest for T20 World Cup triumph will be closely monitored, since the BCCI selectors have made some audacious decisions.
India squad for T20 World Cup 2024:
Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (wk), Sanju Samson (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Shivam Dube, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel
