Let us tell you that the Indian team is part of Group A with arch-rival Pakistan. Apart from this, the other three teams are Ireland, America and Canada. Rohit Sharma will lead the team, while Hardik Pandya is the vice-captain. The 15-member team has four spinners, three fast bowlers and a fast bowling all-rounder in the form of Hardik-Sivam Dubey.

Team India Strongest Playing XI for T20 world cup 2024

Top-3 –

Let us talk about the strongest playing XI of the Indian team in the T20 World Cup. If the Indian think tank looks at all its options, the top three batsmen in the order will be Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli. There is no doubt that Rohit and Jaiswal will open the innings. Whereas Virat will play at number-3. These three batsmen are in good form in IPL 2024, which can benefit the team.

Middle Order-

India has many options in the middle order. After Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav is at number-4 and Sanju Samson or Rishabh Pant is the option at number-5. Samson is continuously scoring runs. In such a situation, he should get a chance. Now the matter seems to be stuck between Hardik and Shivam Dubey at number-6. Since Hardik is the vice-captain of the team, he can be given priority.

Lower Middle Order and Bowlers-

The lower order will be Ravindra Jadeja or Axar Patel. The Men in Blue should go with Axar Patel, as he is a better bowler and better batsman than Jadeja in the T20 format. The last four positions will be for bowlers. Where there can be a combination of 2-2 or 3-1 for pacers-spinners.

Team India has both Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal. Both bowlers are in excellent form. But if the role of frontline spinner has to be played alone then Yuzvendra Chahal can be the first choice. Three pacers Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj and Arshdeep Singh may get a chance. If Team India goes with two spinners then Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh will be the fast bowlers.

India’s Strongest Playing XI for T-20 World Cup 2024:

Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah.
