India's team for T20 World Cup 2024
Rohit Sharma (Captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Shivam Dubey, Hardik Pandya (Vice-Captain), Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal, Sanju Samson (Wicketkeeper), Mohammed Siraj.

Batsmen (Total 5):
Along with captain Rohit Sharma, former captain Virat Kohli and number T20 batsman Suryakumar Yadav will be an important part of the batting unit. Shivam Dubey and Yashasvi Jaiswal have also got a chance. Yashasvi is likely to open, while Shivam Dubey will be seen in the role of finisher.
Wicketkeeper (Total 2):
Talking about wicketkeeper batsmen, Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson have got a place in the team. Pant has returned to professional cricket through IPL 2024. Pant has shown signs of being in form by playing some explosive innings. Pant's performance behind the wicket has also been excellent. Sanju Samson has got the place as the second wicketkeeper.
All-rounders (Total 3):
Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, and Ravindra Jadeja have got the place. Hardik will also play the role of vice-captain in the T20 World Cup. Let us tell you that Hardik is captaining Mumbai Indians (MI) in IPL 2024. Spin bowling all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel have also been rewarded for their good performances.
Spinners (Total 2):
Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal have been included in the World Cup squad as specialist spin bowlers. Leg spinner Chahal is the highest wicket-taker for India in T20 cricket and he is performing brilliantly in the IPL as well. Since the T20 World Cup is to be held in the West Indies and America, the role of Kuldeep and Chahal can be very important on slow pitches. Fast Bowlers (3): Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh will play important roles in the fast bowling unit. Whereas Mohammad Siraj has also been included as the third specialist fast bowler. Siraj has proved expensive in the current IPL season. However, his performance at the international level has been outstanding.
