His ability to finish games under pressure adds depth to India’s batting lineup. His strike rate against spinners makes him an asset in the Indian middle order. With him and Suryakumar Yadav in the middle overs, India look well equipped to combat the middle overs.
Sanju Samson (Wicketkeeper):
Sanju Samson’s inclusion in the squad is a testament to his potential as a wicketkeeper-batsman. His ability to play match-winning innings makes him a valuable addition to India’s squad. With Jitesh as India’s first choice wicketkeeper batsman, Sanju could be the backup wicketkeeper in the side.

Known for his all-round skills, Ravindra Jadeja’s presence adds balance to the squad. His ability to spin the ball and contribute with the bat makes him a valuable asset in T20 cricket. On spinning West Indian pitches, he could be more than threatening with the ball in hand.

His 51 T20Is have seen him amass 47 wickets and 361 runs, showcasing his vital all-round abilities. Currently, he is focused on performing strongly in the ongoing Afghanistan T20I series for India.

Ravi Bishnoi’s impressive performances in recent series have earned him a spot in the squad. His leg-spin bowling adds variety to India’s spin options. He has been the team’s first choice and the most reliable spinner. Bishnoi has been brilliant in the powerplay as well as in the middle overs being economical as well as wicket taking. If needed, he can also bowl at the death.

Mukesh Kumar
Mukesh Kumar, a 30-year-old Indian cricketer, has demonstrated his bowling prowess in recent T20I matches, contributing to India’s success in the three-match series against South Africa. Despite his ability to take wickets, he faces a challenge in controlling the run flow. Since July 2023, he has been a consistent member of India’s T20I squad, and the team management continues to place trust in him.
With a blend of experience and emerging talent, India’s predicted squad for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 looks well-equipped to mount a strong challenge for the title. The team’s depth in both batting and bowling, along with the leadership of Rohit Sharma, makes them one of the favorites to lift the trophy.
