Suryakumar Yadav, who took over captaincy post-Rohit Sharma’s T20 retirement, leads a core featuring explosive batters and versatile all-rounders, though surprises like uncapped talents or overseas inclusions could shake things up.
Expect debates on inclusions such as Yashasvi Jaiswal at opener, Rishabh Pant’s wicket-keeping role, and bowlers like Washington Sundar’s inclusion. The tournament will feature 20 teams in a group-stage format, with India’s campaign starting against the USA in Mumbai.
Four players from the T20 World Cup winning squad will not find their names in the squad for the upcoming World Cup.
