BCCI announced the 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup
15 players including 4 reserve players
Young players were given a chance in the reserve players
Team India's squad includes 4 all-rounders and 5 bowlers among 15 players. The special thing about the team is that KL Rahul has been dropped. Along with this, some young players have been given an opportunity.
Shivam Dubey has been given an opportunity as an all-rounder. His name was in discussion for a long time. Shivam has impressed everyone with his batting this IPL season. In 9 matches of IPL, he has scored 350 runs at an average of 58.33 and a strike rate of 172.41. In which 3 fifties are included. A left-handed batsman and a right-handed bowler. Dubey, who made his debut against Bangladesh in November 2019, has so far scored 276 runs at an average of 39.42 in 21 T20 Internationals. While in bowling he has taken 8 wickets. Dubey's hard-hitting ability and superb batting in the middle order could prove to be India's trump card.
For some time now, Hardik Pandya has been on the receiving end of critics due to his performances. However, apart from being included in the team, he has also been given a big responsibility like vice captain. Pandya has so far scored 197 runs in 9 matches at an average of 24.63 in the IPL. While in bowling he has taken 4 wickets in 9 matches. As Rohit's deputy, Hardik will have a huge responsibility.
The bowling duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal have been included. The duo popularly known as Kulcha has so far performed brilliantly on any big stage. Both could prove effective on the pitches of USA and West Indies. Both the bowlers are in great form in the IPL as well. The names of the three fast bowlers include Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj.
Young players have been given an opportunity in the stand-by. However, Rinku Singh could not make it to the 15 players. It is kept in reserve. In the reserves, Rinku Singh, Awesh Khan and Khalil Ahmed have been trusted. Khalil Ahmed, who made his T20 debut against West Indies in 2018, has so far taken 13 wickets in 14 matches. However, Rinku has scored less runs in this IPL. Rinku has scored 123 runs in 9 matches at an average of 20.50, but Rinku Singh has proved himself to be an excellent finisher. A reserve player is given a chance in case of injury to a player or in special circumstances.
