India’s T20 WC Squad – Potential squad for India’s upcoming T20 World Cup in the USA and West Indies. While the full team hasn’t been finalized, there are 10 players considered certain selections.

10 Confirmed Players (Subject to Fitness) – India’s T20 WC Squad

• Captain Rohit Sharma: The team leader and a vital batsman.
• Suryakumar Yadav: Ranked No. 1 T20 batsman in the world.
• Jasprit Bumrah: India’s pace spearhead and a crucial bowler.
• Ravindra Jadeja: A reliable all-rounder with batting and bowling skills.
• Rishabh Pant: The first-choice wicketkeeper with impactful batting performances.
• Other Confirmed Players:
  • Virat Kohli (potential opener)
  • Hardik Pandya (all-rounder, bowling form under watch)
  • Arshdeep Singh (pacer)
  • Mohammed Siraj (pacer, selection may depend on conditions)
  • Kuldeep Yadav (spinner)

Note: Among Arshdeep and Siraj, one might be left out depending on the need for an extra spinner.

Remaining Spots Up for Debate – India’s T20 WC Squad

Several positions remain open, with multiple contenders vying for selection –

• Openers: With Kohli potentially opening alongside Rohit, there’s no clear choice between Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal.
• Middle-Order Batter: If Kohli opens, Rinku Singh and Shivam Dube are strong contenders.
• Backup Wicketkeeper: Rishabh Pant is the main keeper, but a backup is needed. Options include Ishan Kishan, KL Rahul, Sanju Samson, and Jitesh Sharma. (Samson seems most likely due to recent form)
• Backup Spinner: Yuzvendra Chahal, Axar Patel, and Ravi Bishnoi are all in the running. Axar’s batting might give him an edge.
