Rishabh Pant’s return from horrific accidents is an undoubted feel-good story, however there isn’t a room for Rinku Singh, whose T20I strike fee is a staggering 176.
STRENGTHS: Jasprit Bumrah, in all probability probably the most full paceman in world cricket. Reuniting Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal makes it a formidable spin unit. Suryakumar Yadav is again from harm. Virat Kohli’s in high-quality fettle (500 runs on this IPL to date), with an improved strike fee (147). Ready, composed captain in Rohit Sharma.
WEAKNESSES: In contrast to groups like Australia, India lack all-rounders and X-factor gamers. The lone tempo bowling allrounder, vice-captain Hardik Pandya, has been chosen and elevated based mostly on previous efficiency, not present kind. Squad lacks ruthless hitters.
Tempo unit patchy: Mohammed Siraj under his greatest, Arshdeep Singh typically leaks runs, particularly at demise. Injured Mohammed Shami sorely missed. Workforce abounds in unusual fielders.
OPPORTUNITIES: After dominating within the ODI World Cup solely to fall on the last hurdle, the staff has an opportunity to win solely its second T20 World Cup
THREATS: Squad in need of confirmed finishers. The highest order is essentially just like the squads that did not win the final two T20 World Cups. Tail could not have the ability to contribute a lot with bat. Ball-guzzlers in prime order might put additional stress on decrease order. Rohit’s kind is a priority.
SQUAD: Rohit Sharma (c), Hardik Pandya (vc), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (wk), Sanju Samson (wk), Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj
RESERVES: Shubman Gill, Rinku Singh, Khaleel Ahmed, Avesh Khan
