Rohit and Yashasvi Jaiswal will open the innings and Kohli will play at number three – Irfan Pathan
T20 World Cup will be played in USA and West Indies right after IPL 2024. Team India is to be announced for this mega tournament by the end of April. Which 15 Indian players will get a place for this ICC event still remains a big question. Everyone from fans to cricket experts are giving their opinion regarding this.
In this series, Team India’s former veteran all-rounder Irfan Pathan has given his stand regarding Team India’s World Cup squad. He has given the names of top-3 players. Let us tell you that the selection of some players for the World Cup squad is being considered certain. At the same time, the fitness and form of some players has increased the tension of the selectors.
Irfan Pathan names top-3 players for T-20 World Cup
Former all-rounder Irfan Pathan has named his top-3 playing eleven of Team India for the T-20 World Cup. He has selected Rohit, Yashasvi and Kohli as top-3.

He further said, “Shubman Gill will be in the team but will not be a part of the starting playing XI. He has scored a lot of runs in international cricket and this boy is now playing a different role in the IPL. He is making good use of the powerplay, running fast and hitting sixes. So no matter what happens, you don’t want to leave Gill out.”
Now that World Cup is nearing. My top 3 for team India.
1) Rohit Sharma (in form as well as captain)
2) Yashasvi Jaiswal (been saying that he should be there even before his 100 purely cos he was performing well for team India before the ipl)
3) Virat Kohli. (Shouldn’t be…
