The cricket fraternity and fans are eagerly waiting for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024, which will be played in June and jointly hosted in the United States of America and the West Indies. 

Ahead of the marquee tournament, lots of speculation and excitement await on the selection of India's 15-man squad for the upcoming tournament. 

The selection of the squad is not going to be an easy affair for captain Rohit Sharma, head coach Rahul Dravid and Ajit Agarkar the chairman of selectors. 


Rohit Sharma To Take Tough Calls

According to the reports of Cricbuzz, the selection of certain players is confirmed for playing XI but the responsibility is on skipper Rohit Sharma to fill the two important spots. 

The Indian captain has to decide regarding the inclusion of a fourth specialist pacer with Hardik Pandya already making his way in the squad or considering Shubman Gill in the squad. 

There have been several questions raised regarding the current form of Hardik Pandya in the ongoing IPL, the Mumbai Indians skipper with the bat has just scored 197 runs in 9 matches and with the ball has just scalped 4 wickets with an immoderate economy of 11.95.

The report further stated that Rishabh Pant is in contention for the squad taking into consideration the commendable form he has been in the ongoing IPL for DC. 

The top choice of spinners for inclusion in the squad is likely to be Kuldeep Yadav along with Ravi Bishnoi. The highest wicket-taker in the IPL, Yuzvendra Chahal will likely not be considered in the squad. 

The report further stated that Rishabh Pant is in contention for the squad taking into consideration the commendable form he has been in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2024). 

The Indian star player Rohit Sharma will open the batting with youngster Yashasvi Jaiswal. With legendary Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav making significant place in the middle order. 

In the lower middle order Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja are likely expected to play. Power hitters Shivam Dube or Rinku Singh can likely make a place in the squad to provide that finishing role. 

Apart from that Sanju Samson or KL Rahul can be the choice for the second wicketkeeper slot considering their current form in the ongoing IPL. 

The Indian team will start its campaign on June 5, 2024, against Ireland.
