As India start preparations for the next white-ball ICC tournament, here’s a predicted India squad for the 2024 T20 World Cup, to be held in the West Indies and the United States of America.
India is currently in the midst of a five-match T20I series against Australia, playing their first international match since losing at the 2023 World Cup.
The series, which led 2-1 after three matches, is an important step in the journey to find the ideal combination for the T20 World Cup to be held in mid-2024. The Indian national team expected to take part in the 2024 T20 World Cup is as follows:
India’s predicted squad for T20 World Cup 2024
Openers
Rohit Sharma (c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ishan Kishan (Watch)
Yashasvi Jaiswal was the breakout star in the last IPL season. They made his debut in India. As of this writing, Jaiswal has a strike rate of 170 in his 10 innings of T20I and is one of the few players who is guaranteed to be selected in the T20 World Cup squad unless there is a drastic dip in form. He is one.
Rohit Sharma is still officially the captain of the Indian T20I team, but he has not been part of the team since the 2022 T20 World Cup. If he’s available, he’ll probably take the lead again.
Ishan Kishan is a wicketkeeper in whom India has invested heavily in T20Is. He averaged 25.7 runs and batted for 124.4 runs in 32 T20Is, but being left-handed, he is the other wicketkeeper option in KL He has an advantage over Rahul and Jitesh He Sharma . As of now, the availability of Rishabh Pant is unknown.
Shubman Gill and Ruturaj Gaikwad will be included in the squad if seniors like Rohit and Virat Kohli decide to move away from the shortest format and play in the T20 world tournament. They will be the next two starting pitchers. Set the cup aside.
Middle order batters
error 404
Kohli’s availability, like Rohit’s, is currently unknown. But if he is available, he will definitely be part of the team. No player in the history of T20I World Cups has scored more runs than him.
Sulyakumar Yadav is the world’s No. 1 T20I batsman and one of the first names to be included in the list of T20 teams around the world.

Tilak Verma has been steadily improving since IPL 2022 and is one of the few left-handed batsmen in the country who can also bowl. He made his T20I debut in West Indies where his T20 World Cup will be held in 2023 and became the top scorer for the Indian team in that series.
Rinku Singh has scored scores of 38 (21), 37 (15)*, 22 (14)*, 31 (9)* in his first four T20I appearances. It looks like India have found a reliable finisher who can play in his T20 World Cup next year.
All-rounders
error 404
If Rohit does not participate in the T20 World Cup, Hardik will lead the team.
Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel will be included in the World Cup squad again as they were both selected in the 2023 ODI World Cup squad before Axar’s injury. I can do it.
India could also consider Washington Sundar instead of Jadeja or Axar, but the presence of Tilak Varma reduces the need for a specialist off-spinner and India will use both Jadeja and Axar instead There is a possibility.
Spinners
Ravi Bishnoi
With Yuzvendra Chahal not selected for the five-match T20I series against Australia, Ravi Bishnoi has more or less established himself as India’s go-to spinner in the shortest format. Barring a major change of fortune, he will likely be leading India’s spin-off offense in his 2024 T20 World Cup.
Seamers
error 404
Apart from Jasprit Bumrah and to some extent Arshdeep Singh, India is still far from securing a fast bowling spot in T20Is.
India has invested heavily in Mukesh Kumar as a death bowler. From his 6 T20Is, his economy rate at the time of death is 8.26.
Other sailors include Avesh Khan, Prasidh Krishna, Deepak Chahal, Mohammed Siraj and possibly Bhuvneshwar Kumar. However, unless one of them does well in his IPL, India would be better off considering utilizing Mohammed Shami’s experience in the fourth seamer role in his 2024 T20 World Cup .
