What the team might look like. Criteria for team selection.

Here, we’re taking a look at India’s probable 15-man squad, as well as assessing some of the players who have a chance of missing out as each participating team has until May 25 to finalize its preliminary squad a week in advance. There will be a chance to change players. Till the start of the tournament.

Rohit Sharma(C)

Already confirmed as the captain of India’s T20 World Cup squad by BCCI secretary Jay Shah, Rohit Sharma is Mumbai Indians’ leading scorer this season with 303 runs in eight matches. He has scored almost 4000 runs for India in T20Is and will play a vital role in the powerplay overs as India’s opening batsman.

Yashasvi Jaiswal

After a slow start to IPL 2024, Yashasvi Jaiswal finally found form as he scored an unbeaten 104 against Mumbai Indians in Rajasthan Royals’ last encounter. Jaiswal has scored 225 runs in eight matches for the Royals this season and has also hit four fifties and a century in T20Is with a strike rate of 161.93.

Shubman Gill

Despite scoring a century and a fifty for India, Shubman Gill has failed to make a splash on the T20I stage. His form as captain of Gujarat Titans in IPL 2024 however puts him ahead. He has scored 298 runs in eight matches in IPL 2024 at an average of 42.57 and strike rate of 146.97.

Virat Kohli

The leading run-scorer in IPL 2024 with 379 runs at an average of 63.16 and strike rate of 150.39, Virat Kohli is a sure thing for the India team. He has scored the most runs (4037) in T20Is with an average of over 50, which makes it not easy to include him in the team.

Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper)

The most impressive wicket-keeper batsman in IPL 2024, Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson has scored 314 runs in eight matches at an average of 62.80 and a strike rate of 152.42. He has not been able to show his best performance for India in T20 but when given a chance, he is capable of wreaking havoc with the bat.

Suryakumar Yadav

After missing the first few matches of IPL 2024 for Mumbai Indians, Suryakumar Yadav still managed to score 140 runs in five matches at a strike rate of 166.66. The world No. 1 T20I batsman, Suryakumar Yadav has scored over 2000 T20I runs, including four centuries and 17 fifties at an average of 45.55 and a strike rate of 171.55.

hardik pandya

Hardik Pandya has not enjoyed his return to Mumbai Indians as captain in IPL 2024 and has struggled with both bat and ball. He has scored 151 runs as well as taken four wickets in IPL 2024, but is likely to be included in the squad given his abundant experience in T20Is, where he has scored 1348 runs and taken 73 wickets.

Rishabh Pant(WK)

After being away from the game for over a year due to a serious car accident, wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant has made a strong comeback in IPL 2024. He has scored 254 runs in eight matches and has scored at a strike rate of 150.29, making him a worthy contender for the Indian team.

Rinku Singh

A combative finisher who doesn’t take much time to establish himself, Rinku Singh hasn’t spent much time batting in IPL 2024 but still has a strike rate of 159.70 in the current season. He has two fifties to his name and a strike rate of 176.23 and an average of 89 in T20Is, which makes him a worthy member of the India team.

Ravindra Jadeja

All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has not had a good IPL season so far, but he has a lot of T20 experience. He has scored almost 500 runs and taken 53 wickets in this format and can make India’s squad with a better performance in the remaining IPL games.

-Kuldeep Yadav

In-form player, Kuldeep Yadav has taken 10 wickets and is the leading wicket-taker for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2024. His left-arm wrist spin adds variety to India’s bowling unit and Kuldeep has proved himself on the international stage as well, taking 59 wickets. 35 wickets in T20Is.

Yuzvendra Chahal

The first bowler to take 200 wickets in the IPL, Yuzvendra Chahal is Rajasthan Royals’ top wicket-taker with 13 wickets and is the front-runner to make the Indian team as a spinner. He has also taken 96 wickets in T20Is, which certainly strengthens his claim for selection.

jasprit bumrah

A certain certainty, given his bowling style in this format, selecting Jasprit Bumrah is no easy task. Topping the Purple Cap leaderboard with 13 wickets, Jasprit Bumrah has taken 74 wickets at an average of 19.66 and an economy of 6.55.

Arshdeep Singh

Not afraid to take the ball in pressure situations, Arshdeep Singh has taken 10 wickets for Punjab Kings in IPL 2024 and is likely to be a part of the team having regularly represented India in this format in the past. He has already taken 62 T20I wickets and is likely to increase his wicket tally in the 2024 T20 World Cup.

Shivam Dubey

One of the stars of IPL 2024, Shivam Dubey has been in great form for Chennai Super Kings, scoring 311 runs in eight matches at an average of 51.83 and a strike rate of 169.94. If IPL 2024 form was the only criteria for selection, then Dubey, an explosive finisher, should be one of the first names in the squad.

Other potential players who have performed well

Avesh Khan

Avesh Khan took eight wickets for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2024 while bowling in difficult conditions. He has taken 19 T20I scalps and with a huge upturn in form he has an outside chance of breaking into the team.

Harshal Patel

Punjab Kings’ Harshal Patel has been among the wicket-takers in IPL 2024 and is the team’s leading wicket-taker with 13 wickets. He has taken 29 T20I wickets for India in the past, but considering his economy rate is expensive, he will be lucky to make the team.

Riyan Parag

Rajasthan Royals’ Riyan Parag has had a fantastic IPL season and is the team’s leading run-scorer with 318 runs this season. Even though it is an emerging season for Parag in the IPL, his selection in the team could be a step away as he is yet to make his T20I debut.

Ruturaj Gaikwad

Chennai Super Kings’ new captain Ruturaj Gaikwad has found form at the right time to boost his selection chances. After a slow start to the season, Gaikwad has looked in great form and is his team’s top scorer with 349 runs in eight IPL 2024 matches. The fact that he has scored a hundred and three fifties in T20Is won’t hurt his chances either.
