Former India women's team captain Anjum Chopra has vouched for veteran India batters Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma ahead of the squad announcement for the 2024 T20 World Cup. As per reports, Team India's squad for the marquee tournament will be announced by May 1. 

There was a dilemma around picking up the senior players for the upcoming World Cup after the management called for a squad reboot by including young players following their 10-wicket drubbing against England in the 2022 T20 World Cup semi-finals. 

"When you have quality players like Rohit and Virat, you just can't question their ability and utilisation. Their presence is enough to boost the team's confidence. They are accomplished players. They are world-beaters. India will definitely require Virat and Rohit," Chopra said in an interview to TOI. 

Kohli and Rohit returned to the shortest format after over a year when India hosted Afghanistan for a three-match series in January 2024. 

It was earlier believed that Hardik Pandya would take charge of the Indian side for the 2024 World Cup. However, due to his time out of the team due to an ankle injury, the BCCI secretary Jay Shah confirmed that Rohit will lead the side in the 2024 T20 World Cup.

Among the youngsters, Rinku Singh and Yashasvi Jaiswal have all but cemented their places in the T20 World Cup squad. 

The KKR batter has become a household name after hitting five sixes against Gujarat Titans' Yash Dayal in the last edition of IPL. 

Meanwhile, Yashasvi Jaiswal has captivated everyone with his fearless approach, and Chopra believes that the duo can be a real handful for India in the long run. 

"Rinku Singh. The way he is performing and looking really good. We have to see how much he is able to sustain, the day he sees or faces any failure, and how he comes back. He is going to stay and be around the team and system. He is the one player the entire country looks up to,” Chopra said. 

“Yashasvi Jaiswal is another name. Coming from an Under-19 setup, then IPL and now he is just amazing for the Indian senior team," she added. 

India's 2024 T20 World Cup campaign will begin against Ireland on June 5.
