KL Rahul, Rinku Singh and Shubman Gill were the major omissions in India’s squad for the World Cup while veteran spinner Yuzvendra Chahal made a sensational comeback in the national team
While Gill and Rinku did find a spot in the reserves, KL Rahul was completely snubbed as the selectors decided to go with two wicket-keeping options who can bat in the middle-order – Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson.
Shivam Dube was a surprise inclusion in the squad after the all-rounder impressed both fans and experts with his explosive batting for Chennai Super Kings.
There were some questions over Hardik Pandya’s spot after a disappointing IPL 2024 campaign but the selectors decided to show their trust in him by handing him the vice-captaincy for the competition.
India’s squad for T20 World Cup 2024: Rohit Sharma (C), Hardik Pandya (VC), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah.
Reserves:Shubman Gill, Rinku Singh, Khaleel Ahmed, Avesh Khan
