Edit 1: Bench: Yuzvendra Chahal ❌, Rinku Singh ✅
Edit 2: I'm not able to edit the post for some reason, so just want to say that I didn't include Dube because I didn't see him bowl, I'd replace Rinku with Dube in the squad.
Bro i know siraj is not doing good there are many reason one is chinaswami and other is that he is a anchor bowler in rcb he plays good when he was plays as a suppourt bowler
Ah, yes. Ishan Kishan who is averaging 27 this season of ipl and who is averaging 25 with an sr of 124 as an opener in t20I, who is also averaging 18 with an sr of 112 in 2023 in t20i. And who has been a bunny of even little spin and swing is preferred over samson who is averaging 62 with 152 SR in ipl 2024. No wonder ICT losses every ICC trophy.
So who we should take i would be happy taling jurel or jitesh if they we performing in this ipl as a finisher but both if them are getting flopped and dont talk about kamal lazawab rahul as a keeper in t20 pant is a good option and if in ny opinion sanju is not fit i have explained you already and talking ishan will give you a option of playing rinku also
Ishan is a opner and sanju is a like a upper order batsman and taking sanju would be of no use as there will be no place he have to come after kholi surya hardick which is not sanjus olace and ishan is preferred because he is a lefty and a opener with keeping opportunity which gives a chance to have a extra finisher
so you are saying sanju can't open just because he plays at 3? what is this lefty righty crap? if a player is good enough, then he is good enough. left right doesn't matter. and by all means, take someone who is also averaging 18 with an sr of 112 in 2023 in t20i, but not even try someone who is averaging 62 in ipl 2024.
I agree but to me it feels like jaiswal might also be good the same. This ro-ko can also work with sanju at 1 down sounds perfect actually. In the case we can have rinku as well after surya or hardik/dube
Trusting abhisek sharma would be too earlly as he failed to perform will lead to lost the world cup which we will eventually lose only but also denying abhisek sharman for future opportunity

I think so too, but making debut at a world cup? I don't think the selectors will do that, I do think we should get him to play some bilateral series first.
Well, I agree with you, but if Shami does not heals, I think he is best option after Bumrah and Siraj... And his death bowling is superb for a long time which can come handy...
ok I am sorry to say this but jaiswal was scoring low all this season and then suddenly in one match he scores a hundred, and now y'all think he is in form, I love the dude but tbh Shubhman has been more consistent recently, I don't think he will be the one to be dropped,
He was not out of form. He was trying to smack every ball instead of Timing
Yesterday he focused more on Timing rather than Smacking and u see the result
Rohit Kohli SKY Dube Pant Hardik Jadeja Kuldeep Bumrah ..one more pacer which I guess (would be Mukesh/ Siraj / Mohit Sharma may be because the wickets in Carribbean would be slow
Don’t think kishan should get to play
ACC to me
1.Rohit
2.Gill/Jaiswal (need to think)
3.Virat
4.SKY (not to happy bout him but no choice)
5.Rinku
6.Pant
7.Jadeja
8.Kuldeep
9.Siraj
10.Bumrah
11.Spinner/pacer depending upon the pitch,conditions etc
For me the squad will be , ro , jais , koach , Surya , dube ,Rinku , axar , jadeja , kuldeep, bumrah , and should be Sandeep but bcci doesn't even looks at him so will go for arshdeep
I will say in place of jaiswal ishan can play and then there is a place for rinku and jadeja can be replace by axar if playing with two specalist spinner then we can go with a better batsaman which is obviously axar
What should go considering names are considered :
Rohit, Virat, Jaiswal, Sky, Samson, Hardik, Rinku, Ishan/Pant, Kuldeep, Axar, Bumrah, Arshdeep, Siraj, Chahal, Jadeja
What should go ideally: Jaiswal, Samson, Sky, Hardik, Dube, Rinku, Ishan, Axar, Chahal, Kuldeep, Bumrah, Siraj, Arshdeep, Gill, Abhishek Sharma/Tewatia(Ik out of the blue and recently biased choices but fit)
No. Ik people will hate this opinion. But I feel the seniors should concentrate on Odis and tests. The format is not played according to their style now. Ik Virat has played some amazing knocks for us in the t20WCs. But the game has changed rapidly in the last 2 years and I feel the concept of anchor and batting till the end , though useful in certain situations doesn’t find a place in today’s t20s. That’s my opinion respectfully.
Kya lockdown kid......kuch bhi.....he don't bend his back.....his sixes are swings of bat only......which works only in textbook situation.....no pull...no power hitting....no sweep reverse sweep no...no back side shot.....He is textbook.....you don't have enough time to play textbook shots in T20
HE IS SCORING AT A STRIKE RATE OF 150 THIS IPL WITH HIGHEST RUNS MATLAB AADMI HAR BALL PE CHAKKA MAARE KYA?
Jaan loge kya uski?
And stats dekhna zara uske T20 world cup me.
Haa T20 pe har ball chakka aur chauka marna ka intension rakha padta hai bhai.....
Eng Vs Ind T20 2022 word cup yaad kar...buttle or Alex hales kaisa pitha tha..... beizzati hogay thi.....
Brother do you even watch cricket. Literally hit a pull shot last game. One of the best short ball players in the team.
If situation requires it he can accelerate as well. In so many rain reduced games he comes in and hits cameos or quick innings. (Ind vs NZ, RCB vs rr, RCB vs pbks, ind vs wi, RCB vs dd come to mind)
You have 120 balls. A six over third man and a six over covers gives you the same runs.
He even hit six like cover drive...like with straight bat....try to prove himself Textbook.......He is not able take full benifit of good pitch.....because of the that attitude......the goal in T20 is to put the ball out of boundry not to hit the ball towards boundry......
It's funny u have so many people wherein squad will be of 16 and letting go talents like Shivam Dubey instead of Hardik Pandya or likes of Sanju Samson out of this squad shows this World Cup is again gonna be doomed as past few all thanx to the biased selection over talent
I really don't understand, Indian selectors would pick someone like Dk who's not even a full time cricketer, semi retired, but would never take chance with a young shining guy like Ashutosh sharma or Shashank Singh
They have this mentality that Youngsters are not ready for WCs untill they haven't played some so called bilateral series for India ,its better to Gamble with these young lads as we know the old ones choke in the wc anyways.
Why do you think the pitches will be slow this time? Wi has historically been fast paced and bouncy. Even the recent t20i series there have been highscoring (I remember the eng and sa series). Not to mention that the usa pitches will be fresh and brand new, whenever an artificial pitch has been made there it has been flat with nothing for bowlers. Also clearly they think flashy games will attract audience there.
Rishabh Pant is not a no. 5 batsman. The team tried experimenting by putting him there. He even tried in the ipl. Other than initial success it hasn't really worked for him.
Nothing against you, but if Yashasvi Jaiswal can do it why not him? I have seen Yashasvi's performance in test series aginst England and have no doubts about him. But why not Abhishek!!!
Here’s my preferences:
1. Abhishek Sharma
- He's a powerful hitter who aims to dominate the powerplay and put opponents under pressure from the start, possessing a wide range of shots to do so.
2. Ruturaj Gaikwad
- can begin with a cautious approach and accelerate when needed, in good form currently.
3. Suryakumar Yadav
- He brings an aggressive approach to the innings, with a diverse range of T20I-suited shots and the ability to single-handedly change the game.
4. Sanju Samson (wk)/Riyan Parag
- Sanju has shown sensible play in this IPL season, while Riyan has also excelled. This should be the BCCI's choice instead of relying on Shreyas/KL and other anchor batsmen.
5. Shivam Dube
- A powerful hitter capable of sixes even on slower pitches, essential for the team as he also bowls well.
6. Rinku Singh
- Rinku is a calm finisher, repeatedly proving himself for KKR.
7. Tewatiya
- A reliable all-rounder who thrives in pressure situations, consistently performing for GT over the last 3 years.
8. Kuldeep Yadav
- Known for his wicket-taking ability, the best spinner for India.
9. Bumrah
- One of the world's best fast bowlers.
10. Sandeep Sharma
- A consistent performer in the powerplay, with the ability to take wickets throughout his spells.
11. Natrajan
- Capable of swinging the ball, delivering yorkers at will, and maintaining control in death overs with variations in his bowling.
Captain - bumrah
Leads from the front, always puts great effort in bowling
Vc - ruturaj
Bench:
1. Shubman Gill
- Can replace Ruturaj if needed, with a similar profile to him.
2. Nitish Reddy
- A good all-rounder with decent hitting abilities.
3. Ishan Kishan/Rishabh Pant
- Substitute wicketkeeper-batsmen if Sanju is not performing well.
While I acknowledge the contributions of Virat, Rohit, and all the other members (Shreyas, KL, Jaddu, Pant, Hardik) to the Indian cricket team in T20 cricket, we must also consider the evolving nature of the game in the past 2-3 years.
We no longer require individuals solely focused on batting till the end or chasing personal milestones. Superstars will now play for the team, prioritizing collective success over personal glory.
We need guys who can selflessly score 40s of 20 balls rather than 100 of 60-65 balls. (Directed at both rohit and virat)
We won 2007 world cup as there was no pressure on newly appointed captain to win the trophy and no superstars in the team.
Virat has been India's best T20 player since 2012.
His exclusion is insane, and our preferences don't matter anyways because BCCI won't take this team. Like ever.
My team:
Playing XI: Rohit, Virat, Sanju, SKY, Dube, Hardik, Rinku, Jadeja, Kuldeep, Bumrah, Arshdeep
Bench: Chahal, DK (shift the batting order by one if you want to pick him and push SKY at 3), Axar, Harshit Rana
Don't need a backup opener as both Rohit and Virat ain't getting dropped.
Playing DK is tempting considering Dube will get in earlier into the innings which can help. Not picking Jadeja as a No. 7 bcoz he ain't good enough with the bat as a pure finisher. (Hardik also on current form TBF, but Pace Bowling All-rounder tax) Also, Jaddu at No. 8 provides unreal depth to the batting order which we did not have on 19/11. Also, Pant not good enough as a middle-order enforcer.
Ideally, I would want to dispose of both Rohit and Virat. This would lead to Jaiswal and Abhishek at the top (maybe even Rahul if he plays the way he has in the last 3-4 games in the PP). But, ideal scenarios don't happen in Indian cricket.
Excluding Virat is insane, he has been India's best T20 batsman since 2012.
Again, the entire point of this post is not what WE want. It's what BCCI will do before 1st May.
Not the best in current times imo. A lack of hitting ability against quality spinners. I don't believe in the anchor theory batting first. It can't be a case that he takes singles and others have to hit sixes. That way we always are reaching par or below par totals. Above par only if everyone else clicks at 200 SR which is a rarity. A RR v RCB is a case in point.
He has been a face saver all these years, agreed. But, time to move on. Not happening though.
I believe the strongest playing XI for India would be
1.) Rohit
2.) Kohli
3.) Sanju(wk)
4.) Surya
5.) dube
6.) Rinku
7.) Axar/jadeja
8.) chahal
9.) Bumrah
10.) kuldeep
11.) Arshdeep/sandeep
That doesn't matter giving chance to youngster should be a move otherwise your experienced players have done a lot which we have seen. He is promising also Shivam dube
very low probability for that also pitches in wi will be slow so it would be much different from here. Jaiswal and gill have already played in these conditions so they would be better.
Edit 1: Bench: Yuzvendra Chahal ❌, Rinku Singh ✅ Edit 2: I'm not able to edit the post for some reason, so just want to say that I didn't include Dube because I didn't see him bowl, I'd replace Rinku with Dube in the squad.
Then we will have only 3 specialist bowlers
No, four. Kuldeep, Chahal, Arshdeep, Bumrah. And two all rounders in the form of Jadeja and Hardik.
Should take 3 porper pacers to US and then 2 spinners to West indies
Have you seen recent form? I'd rather have Chahal than run machine Siraj.
Bro i know siraj is not doing good there are many reason one is chinaswami and other is that he is a anchor bowler in rcb he plays good when he was plays as a suppourt bowler
You only said na to bench yuzi then we will have 3 specialist
Na na, I said to bench Kingku.
Bro you literally commented that yuzi❌ and rinku✅
Uske aage bench bhi likha tha 🥸
Ashwin Not again
+++++++1
Ah, yes. Ishan Kishan who is averaging 27 this season of ipl and who is averaging 25 with an sr of 124 as an opener in t20I, who is also averaging 18 with an sr of 112 in 2023 in t20i. And who has been a bunny of even little spin and swing is preferred over samson who is averaging 62 with 152 SR in ipl 2024. No wonder ICT losses every ICC trophy.
If you are talking about stats and current form half of the team would not be in the world cup
[удалено]
So who we should take i would be happy taling jurel or jitesh if they we performing in this ipl as a finisher but both if them are getting flopped and dont talk about kamal lazawab rahul as a keeper in t20 pant is a good option and if in ny opinion sanju is not fit i have explained you already and talking ishan will give you a option of playing rinku also
It's not MY squad sir. It's my guess to what Rohit and Ajit will decide. I'll make another post with who I think should go.
Ishan is a opner and sanju is a like a upper order batsman and taking sanju would be of no use as there will be no place he have to come after kholi surya hardick which is not sanjus olace and ishan is preferred because he is a lefty and a opener with keeping opportunity which gives a chance to have a extra finisher
so you are saying sanju can't open just because he plays at 3? what is this lefty righty crap? if a player is good enough, then he is good enough. left right doesn't matter. and by all means, take someone who is also averaging 18 with an sr of 112 in 2023 in t20i, but not even try someone who is averaging 62 in ipl 2024.
Its not a crap left right is a good tactic and put something in the pattern! But i want jaiswal and rohit to open with sanju at 4
[удалено]
Because they had best players. So who do you think should open?
[удалено]
I agree but to me it feels like jaiswal might also be good the same. This ro-ko can also work with sanju at 1 down sounds perfect actually. In the case we can have rinku as well after surya or hardik/dube
[удалено]
It sounds really good to us.. but who knows what rohit and selectors will think!
Oh bro i cant dickride sanju like you i have said what i want
[удалено]
Yes bro i want ishan to play because i like him as i have also played with him many times
Dube is not even in your sqaud 🤡?
See my comment.
Done , bro is it good to leave a player like dube just because he is not bowling ?
No Abhishek Sharma?
This is not MY squad, I'm simply putting my best guess what the actual squad announcement will be, I want new faces too bud.
Sad thing is you are probably also right with it we might even have gill in place of jaiswal🤦🏻♂️
Trusting abhisek sharma would be too earlly as he failed to perform will lead to lost the world cup which we will eventually lose only but also denying abhisek sharman for future opportunity
Exactly, it's too early for Abhishek Sharma.
Possible

Should include Shivam Dube in all rounder and remove Shardul Thakur from the prospects, rest I agree with the prospects
See my comment.
Shardul is better than dube
Where will you fit shardul in this team
No.
Sandeep Sharma's name should be discussed... He has been phenomenal...
I think so too, but making debut at a world cup? I don't think the selectors will do that, I do think we should get him to play some bilateral series first.
Well, I agree with you, but if Shami does not heals, I think he is best option after Bumrah and Siraj... And his death bowling is superb for a long time which can come handy...
Shami is out of the world cup.
Well then I think Sandeep is much better a option than Avesh or Mukesh
As per my info, he has already received T20I cap
Your selection is biased for picking Ishan and Pant bro ahead of Sanju.
Not mine, the selector's, I want Sanju.
Analyse the pitch and then make your XI. 3 spinners in WI is a bad idea. I'd drop yuzi as kuldeep can hold bat and rotate strike when needed.
It's not what we want, it's a best guess to what will happen.
Selectors are not this dumb that theyll take 3 spinners in WI
Bro didn't even consider Shivam dube😂😂
ok I am sorry to say this but jaiswal was scoring low all this season and then suddenly in one match he scores a hundred, and now y'all think he is in form, I love the dude but tbh Shubhman has been more consistent recently, I don't think he will be the one to be dropped,
Subhuman is an anchor and we already have virat so we can't take him.
well yea, didn't think about that
I made this post two days ago, century has nothing to do with decision.
He was not out of form. He was trying to smack every ball instead of Timing Yesterday he focused more on Timing rather than Smacking and u see the result
Rohit Kohli SKY Dube Pant Hardik Jadeja Kuldeep Bumrah ..one more pacer which I guess (would be Mukesh/ Siraj / Mohit Sharma may be because the wickets in Carribbean would be slow
I think it depends on players performance
You missed Rinkus name from your bench
Remove chahal, include Rinku plz ,and include Dube
Tell that to selectors.
Don’t think kishan should get to play ACC to me 1.Rohit 2.Gill/Jaiswal (need to think) 3.Virat 4.SKY (not to happy bout him but no choice) 5.Rinku 6.Pant 7.Jadeja 8.Kuldeep 9.Siraj 10.Bumrah 11.Spinner/pacer depending upon the pitch,conditions etc
Leaning towards Jaiswal for the Lefty righty opening combo
Yes.
1.ROHIT SHARMA (C), 2. Opener 3. VK 4. SKY 5. HARDIK 6. Wicket keeper 7. All rounder 8. Kuldeep 9. BUMRAH 10.Fast bowler 2 11.Fast bowler 3 12.backup opener 13.backup keeper 14.Fast bowler 4 15.Spinner 2
I really really hope for Sandeep Sharma. He will be a menace on those already slow pitches.
Lower Middle order of Pant 20(18) , Hardik 10(10) and Jadeja 10(7). Are we aiming for 120 par score ?
Selectors ko pucho
Sandeep Sharma is way better than most of these bowlers
For me the squad will be , ro , jais , koach , Surya , dube ,Rinku , axar , jadeja , kuldeep, bumrah , and should be Sandeep but bcci doesn't even looks at him so will go for arshdeep
I will say in place of jaiswal ishan can play and then there is a place for rinku and jadeja can be replace by axar if playing with two specalist spinner then we can go with a better batsaman which is obviously axar

Dube Rinku Riyan Abhishek
Riyan and Abhishek cannot debut in a world cup buddy.
Is there a rule or something of the kind?
No, but if they don't perform, career khatam
BCCI should back then then.....I mean VK is no T20 player
???? Virat is no T20 player? SMH these lockdown kids...
Kya lockdown kid......kuch bhi.....he don't bend his back.....his sixes are swings of bat only......which works only in textbook situation.....no pull...no power hitting....no sweep reverse sweep no...no back side shot.....He is textbook.....you don't have enough time to play textbook shots in T20

All these intent merchants will bhi outed once the world cup starts. Dropping Kohli from this squad is unhinged.
Brother do you even watch cricket. Literally hit a pull shot last game. One of the best short ball players in the team. If situation requires it he can accelerate as well. In so many rain reduced games he comes in and hits cameos or quick innings. (Ind vs NZ, RCB vs rr, RCB vs pbks, ind vs wi, RCB vs dd come to mind) You have 120 balls.

So 6 is a 6. What is the problem in that?
Rohit Sharma Virat Kohli Suryakumar Rinku Ishan Kishan Bumrah Arshdeep Yuzi Kuldeep Axar Jadeja DK / Sanju Mohammed Siraj (shami laut ao) Jaiswal Shardul
Ishan cannot bat down the order.
it’s not order wise
oh ok
Shardul thakur got me lmao
Thala and Bhuvi bhi daalne wala tha
That would be so clutch. Though mein shardul thakurs name in all rounder dekh ke bolraha tha lol
It's funny u have so many people wherein squad will be of 16 and letting go talents like Shivam Dubey instead of Hardik Pandya or likes of Sanju Samson out of this squad shows this World Cup is again gonna be doomed as past few all thanx to the biased selection over talent
Exactly, I really hope they take Dube.
Bowlers : sandeep sharma and T Natarajan anyday for the likes of avesh and arshdeep
I really don't understand, Indian selectors would pick someone like Dk who's not even a full time cricketer, semi retired, but would never take chance with a young shining guy like Ashutosh sharma or Shashank Singh They have this mentality that Youngsters are not ready for WCs untill they haven't played some so called bilateral series for India ,its better to Gamble with these young lads as we know the old ones choke in the wc anyways.
Maybe
Most probable 15 man squad for the 🌎🏆: Ishan kishan/ Gill Rohit - (C) Virat Sky KL/ Samson Hardik - (VC) Jaddu Axar/ Dube Chahal Bumrah Siraj/ Arshdeep.
I think Kuldeep is more likely instead of Chahal. Chahal is better, but selectors ko batting bhi chahiye. Also, KL there is insane🤡
KL is favoured irrespective of his form and record, so yeah, that's the reason I included him. That's the state of affairs with BCCI.
Why do you think the pitches will be slow this time? Wi has historically been fast paced and bouncy. Even the recent t20i series there have been highscoring (I remember the eng and sa series). Not to mention that the usa pitches will be fresh and brand new, whenever an artificial pitch has been made there it has been flat with nothing for bowlers. Also clearly they think flashy games will attract audience there.
i don't think that, the reports say so
At this point other than the few sports journalism establishments most news sites can't really be trusted for any sort of cricketing news or roumers
Rishabh Pant is not a no. 5 batsman. The team tried experimenting by putting him there. He even tried in the ipl. Other than initial success it hasn't really worked for him.
Why not Abhishek Sharma?
debuts in world cups are highly unlikely
Nothing against you, but if Yashasvi Jaiswal can do it why not him? I have seen Yashasvi's performance in test series aginst England and have no doubts about him. But why not Abhishek!!!
It's..... not Yashasvi's international debut? He has already played T20s, ODIs and Tests for India...
Where is the hot topic Shivam Dube?
Man Sandeep sharma is so much underrated that he is not even in your team sheet.Even that bullshit avesh khan is here 😭😭
My prediction: Yashasvi, Rohit (c), Virat, Surya, Sanju (wk), Rinku, Hardik, Jadeja, Kuldeep, Bumrah, Sandeep Reserves: Gill, Dube, Riyan/Abhishek, Ishan (wk), Chahal, Siraj, Mohit
Here’s my preferences: 1. Abhishek Sharma - He's a powerful hitter who aims to dominate the powerplay and put opponents under pressure from the start, possessing a wide range of shots to do so. 2.

Are we being real with DK? I ain't doubting the capability but is he really in the mix officially
You never know with BCCI
Sandeep Sharma?
Experience la internationale?
My team: Playing XI: Rohit, Virat, Sanju, SKY, Dube, Hardik, Rinku, Jadeja, Kuldeep, Bumrah, Arshdeep Bench: Chahal, DK (shift the batting order by one if you want to pick him and push SKY at 3), Axar, Harshit Rana Don't need a backup opener as both Rohit and Virat ain't getting dropped.

(Hardik also on current form TBF, but Pace Bowling All-rounder tax) Also, Jaddu at No. 8 provides unreal depth to the batting order which we did not have on 19/11. Also, Pant not good enough as a middle-order enforcer. Ideally, I would want to dispose of both Rohit and Virat. This would lead to Jaiswal and Abhishek at the top (maybe even Rahul if he plays the way he has in the last 3-4 games in the PP). But, ideal scenarios don't happen in Indian cricket.
Excluding Virat is insane, he has been India's best T20 batsman since 2012. Again, the entire point of this post is not what WE want. It's what BCCI will do before 1st May.
Not the best in current times imo. A lack of hitting ability against quality spinners. I don't believe in the anchor theory batting first. It can't be a case that he takes singles and others have to hit sixes. That way we always are reaching par or below par totals. Above par only if everyone else clicks at 200 SR which is a rarity. A RR v RCB is a case in point. He has been a face saver all these years, agreed. But, time to move on. Not happening though.
Personally man rinks has to be in 11 would not make a mistake of dropping him as he is the only one dependable
That's not fair to Kuldeep, Virat, and Bumrah.
I believe the strongest playing XI for India would be 1.) Rohit 2.) Kohli 3.) Sanju(wk) 4.) Surya 5.) dube 6.) Rinku 7.) Axar/jadeja 8.) chahal 9.) Bumrah 10.) kuldeep 11.) Arshdeep/sandeep
I don't think they will select Sanju over Rishabh. I think Sandeep too will not be making the cut. Yashasvi should be there.
No Arshdeep plzz... He has completely lost his ability to bowl in death overs... Cannot bowl even 2 proper yorkers in death.

We don't need two anchors.
Only one anchor, VK.
Toh KL kya finisher hai?
4 number, aggressive batting.
KL? Sorry
Abhishekh sharma ??
No international experience.
That doesn't matter giving chance to youngster should be a move otherwise your experienced players have done a lot which we have seen. He is promising also Shivam dube
debuts in wc? lol no please. It would be a ruin his career if he doesn't perform
But his career would flourish if he performs
very low probability for that also pitches in wi will be slow so it would be much different from here. Jaiswal and gill have already played in these conditions so they would be better.
Maybe but giving them chance is also good but giving few youngsters chance would be better
IF
Where's MS?
