Team India Squad Analysis
The Indian Cricket Team has announced a very strong 15-member squad for the ICC event. Rahul Dravid has decided to bank on his ace stars like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in leading Team India’s attack. It is extremely important, given that it is India’s last chance to break the ICC jinx with Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid.
The T20 World Cup is the last tournament that Rahul Dravid will be the head coach of the team. So it is the last opportunity for him to help India lift an ICC trophy. The same is likely the case with Rohit Sharma who is most likely playing his last T20 World Cup.
India squad: Rohit Sharma (c), Hardik Pandya (vc), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (wk), Sanju Samson (wk), Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. Siraj
Reserves: Shubman Gill, Rinku Singh, Khaleel Ahmed and Avesh Khan
