Rohit Sharma Leads India's T20 World Cup Squad: Meet the Team!

Rohit Sharma will lead India's charge in the upcoming ICC Men's T20 World Cup, as confirmed by the BCCI. The squad announcement brought attention to the wicketkeeper position, with Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson securing their spots.

Pant's return to the international arena is notable after recovering from a serious accident in 2022. Shivan Dube's impressive IPL performance earned him a spot in the team, showcasing his batting prowess for the Chennai Super Kings.

India has opted for a spin-heavy bowling attack, featuring Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, and Yuzvendra Chahal. Jasprit Bumrah will spearhead the pace battery, supported by Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj, and vice-captain Hardik Pandya.

The batting lineup includes expected names like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, and Suryakumar Yadav, alongside captain Rohit Sharma. Reserves include Shubman Gill, Rinku Singh, Khaleel Ahmed, and Avesh Khan.

Notably absent is KL Rahul, a regular in previous T20 World Cup campaigns. India is grouped with Pakistan, Ireland, Canada, and co-hosts USA. Their campaign begins on June 5 against Ireland in New York, followed by the highly anticipated clash with Pakistan.

Teams have until May 25 to make changes to their squad, subject to ICC approval thereafter.
