Predicting India’s Best XI At The ICC T20 World Cup 2024

Date:

The Indian cricket team will be gunning to win their 2nd ICC T20 World Cup title as they go to West Indies and USA. On several occasions, the Indian cricket team has fared well in the ICC tournaments but have failed to cross the final frontier.

India have last won an ICC title way back in 2007 and since then, there has been a trophy drought in this format. In fact, India’s last ICC title came back in 2013 when the team had lifted the ICC Champions Trophy 2013 under the astute captaincy of MS Dhoni.

As the Indian cricket team prepares for the marquee event, we dive deep into the strongest playing XI in the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2024. With the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 coming to a close, the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2024 will have all the eyeballs.

In this article, we take a look at India’s best XI at the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 in West Indies and USA:

Openers: Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma

The left-right combination at the top of the order will form the backbone of the Indian cricket team in the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Yashasvi Jaiswal has been a revelation for India in the T20I format and will be a key player to watch out for.

Skipper Rohit Sharma will be marshalling the troops of India and would be looking to play in the exact same fashion he had played in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023.

Top-Order: Virat Kohli, Surya Kumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant

Virat Kohli recently bagged the Orange Cap for scoring the most number of runs in IPL 2024. He is in red-hot form and is the knight in shining armour for India. Rishabh Pant is coming back from an injury layoff and will be playing international cricket for the first time since 2022.

Surya Kumar Yadav is a doyen of the T20I format and would be looking to leave a mark in the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2024.

Middle-Order: Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja

India’s middle-order will have star all-rounders Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja. The duo can pack a punch and will be contributing with the bat and with the ball. While Hardik is the vice-captain of the side, Jadeja will have to contribute immensely with the ball alongside his crucial batting.

Bowlers: Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav

As the pitches in West Indies are slow and turn a lot, India will be tempted to play ‘KulCha’, which is the moniker given to the duo of Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav. The duo would be keen on leaving an imprint in the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2024.

In the pace bowling department, the likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh will be keen on leading the bowling stocks with a lot of expertise.
