In less than one week’s time, India’s T20 World Cup squad will be out. For a team, that last won an ICC trophy back in 2013, the 2024 T20 World Cup is a great opportunity for Rohit Sharma and Co. to end a long drought. Several experts have been giving their opinion on what the ideal 15-member India squad should look like. There is also 100 per cent consensus about two players who should be in the playing XI – Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah.

Former Indian cricket team star spinner Harbhajan Singh had an interesting suggestion regarding Virat Kohli’s batting order, depending on situation.   

“I believe Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma should open for India, and Virat Kohli should come at no.3,” Harbhajan Singh told Star Sports. 

I would like to see the left and right combination at the top. If he plays 6-7 overs and has a player like Shivam Dube, he can come in at number three. That way Kohli can come in as number four. You have to take the “everybody should” approach here, but that’s not rude. Kohli is a great player. Whether he’s playing number three or number four, he’s always about the team. Even if you ask him this question, he will say the team comes first. ”

Another former Indian star, Navjot Singh Sidhu, has told Indian cricket coach Rahul Dravid and the BCCI selection committee that there are as many good fast players as three spinners. I advised him to choose. bowler.

“My direct advice to Rahul Dravid is that if you want to win this tournament, just have five wicket specialists. The breakdown in the character of the team comes from compromise. They have Bishnois.

We have three spinners in , Kuldeep and Jadeja, and if we have to go to this side, we will choose Mayank Yadav.Khaleel Ahmed, Mukesh Kumar and Mohsin Khan should be fast bowlers. Sidhu told Star Sports:

“India have a lot of options. They shouldn’t compromise on someone who can bat and bowl a little bit.” If you think about all the captains who have won World Cups, they are good quality players. I would have chosen the bowling option. That’s the secret. If you can’t win the World Cup with seven batters, you can’t do anything with the No. 8 batter either.
