The upcoming matches will see India’s spin-heavy bowling lineup, with players like Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, and Yuzvendra Chahal leading the charge. The pace attack will be spearheaded by Jasprit Bumrah, supported by Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj, and vice-captain Hardik Pandya.
India’s batting lineup has been finalized with Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, and captain Rohit expected to form the top order. Shubman Gill, Rinku Singh, Khaleel Ahmed, and Avesh Khan have been named as reserves for the squad.
Shivan Dube’s outstanding form in the IPL has earned him a spot in the squad for the upcoming matches. Despite facing tough competition from other batters in Chennai Super Kings’ lineup, his performances have secured his place. He scored 350 runs in nine matches at an impressive strike rate of 172.41.
One notable omission from the squad is KL Rahul, a key player in India’s previous T20 World Cup campaigns in 2021 and 2022. His absence comes as a surprise given his past performances for the team.
