I have mentioned before, the T20 World Cup will be held in October this year. The squad of the Indian for the T20 World Cup was announced last week on Wednesday. So, I thought let us review India's T20 World Cup squad.
Squad of Indian team
- Virat Kohli (C)
- Rohit Sharma (VC)
- KL Rahul
- Suryakumar Yadav
- Ishan Kishan
- Rishabh Pant (WK)
- Hardik Pandya
- Ravindra Jadeja
- Axar Patel
- Ravichandran Ashwin
- Rahul Chahar
- Varun Chakravarthy
- Bhuvneshwar Kumar
- Jasprit Bumrah
- Mohammed Shami
Ravichandran Ashwin’s selection in the squad left everyone surprised as he was out of India’s limited overs squad for four years. Although, he was performing well in the IPL but was not Picked in India’s limited overs squad. Indian team’s selector said that he was Taken in the squad for his performance in IPL. He also told that Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma backed them to take Ravichandran Ashwin in India’s T20 World Cup squad.
Yuzvendra
Chahal and Shikhar Dhawan not in the Squad
Yuzvendra Chahal
and Shikhar Dhawan both were dropped from India’s T20 World Cup Squad.
Yuzvendra Chahal’s Drop from India’s T20 world cup squad Didn’t surprise much
as he was not in good form in both international matches and IPL. Some analysts
said that Yuzvendra Chahal should have been taken in the squad. Shikhar
Dhawan’s drop surprised Everyone as he was in sublime form in both international
matches and IPL. Everybody said That Shikhar Dhawan should have been taken in The
T20 World Cup Squad.
Dhoni selected as mentor
Another surprise
to the fans was that M.S Dhoni was selected as India’s mentor. He took his
retirement from international cricket last year and was chosen as India’s
mentor of India for the T20 World Cup. Some People questioned the BCCI as the
Indian team Have a coach so why do they need a mentor. Fans of MS Dhoni were
very happy. He has Confirmed to the BCCI that he will only be the Mentor for
the T20 world cup. Sourav Ganguly Said that MS Dhoni’s experience would help
India as India have not won any ICC trophy since
2013.
