The Indian team for the Upcoming T20 World Cup has been made public. With Hardik Pandya designated as his vice captain and Rohit Sharma leading the 15-man squad, there aren’t any big surprises.
According to sources, Agarkar traveled to Delhi for the Mumbai Indians vs. Delhi Capitals IPL game on Saturday. It gave him an opportunity to clarify the team composition with the T20 skipper as well.
There’s not much chance of going left-field, but Mumbai Indians batsman Tilak Varma, a flashy southpaw who can also deliver useful off-spin if the opposition has more left-handers, might be a possibility. There will be deliberation over who to choose and who misses the bus when there are several issues.
Jay Shah, the secretary of the BCCI, confirmed Rohit’s appointment as captain earlier this year. Because there are several individuals vying for each playing XI slot, the selectors will have a difficult time narrowing down their selection of top choices and backups.
India’s 15-man squad: Rohit Sharma (Captain), Hardik Pandya (Vice Captain), 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, Mohd. Siraj.
