Despite facing tough competition, Shivan Dube has earned a spot in the squad for the upcoming matches due to his outstanding form in the IPL. In nine matches, he has scored 350 runs at an impressive strike rate of 172.41.
The Indian bowling lineup for the upcoming matches will be spin-heavy, with players like Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, and Yuzvendra Chahal leading the charge. The pace attack will be spearheaded by Jasprit Bumrah, supported by Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj, and vice-captain Hardik Pandya.
The selection of batters was predictable, with Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, and captain Rohit expected to form the top order. Shubman Gill, Rinku Singh, Khaleel Ahmed, and Avesh Khan have been named as reserves for the squad.
One notable omission from the squad is KL Rahul, a key player in India’s previous T20 World Cup campaigns in 2021 and 2022. His absence comes as a surprise given his past performances for the team.
In conclusion, India’s bowling lineup will be dominated by spin bowlers while their batting lineup will feature familiar faces such as Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. The selection committee has shown faith in Shivan Dube’s form and included him in the squad despite tough competition from other contenders.
