India’s T20 World Cup Squad Announced: What Should be the Ideal Playing XI for the Men in Blue?
What could be India’s ideal Playing XI for the T20 World Cup 2024 from the 15-member squad selected? Will opening with Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma give India option to beef up their middle-order?

The BCCI announced India’s 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup 2024 on Tuesday with Rohit Sharma, as expected, named captain while his Mumbai Indians teammate Hardik Pandya is the designated vice-captain. Virat Kohli, Yashavi Jaiswal, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, and Sanju Samson make up India’s top-order, along with the backup options while Shivam Dube has been rewarded for his stellar form in the IPL as the lower-order enforcer.

Interestingly, India opted to pack their 15 with as many as four spin bowling options in the form of Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, and Yuzvendra Chahal, while there are only three specialist pacers in the 15 – Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj and Arshdeep Singh.
