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 price is a staggering 176.
STRENGTHS: Jasprit Bumrah, in all probability essentially 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 price (147). In a position, composed captain in Rohit Sharma.
WEAKNESSES: Not like 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 primarily based on previous efficiency, not present kind. Squad lacks ruthless hitters.
Tempo unit patchy: Mohammed Siraj under his finest, Arshdeep Singh usually leaks runs, particularly at dying. Injured Mohammed Shami sorely missed. Staff abounds in peculiar fielders.
OPPORTUNITIES: After dominating within the ODI World Cup solely to fall on the ultimate hurdle, the group has an opportunity to win solely its second T20 World Cup
THREATS: Squad in need of confirmed finishers. The highest order is essentially much like the squads that did not win the final two T20 World Cups. Tail could not be capable to contribute a lot with bat. Ball-guzzlers in high order might put further 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
