A lot of off-field calculations are made when the players are picked up for a tournament like World Cup. The think tanks sit together and unanimously form a formidable squad that represents the best of India.

India being a dominant cricketing nation automatically becomes one of the toughest contenders to clinch the coveted trophy. This time too, the fans will have huge expectations from the Indian cricketers as they travel to Australia to participate in the T20 World Cup.

India’s Probable Batters for T20 World Cup 2022:

Rohit Sharma will occupy the opening slot for the Indian team in the T20 World Cup 2022. He, being the skipper, also becomes the first candidate to be picked in the squad. He will be paired alongside KL Rahul, who is also the deputy to Rohit Sharma in white-ball cricket. Both Rohit and Rahul form a fine opening pair for India.

Former skipper Virat Kohli is a mandatory name in the Indian lineup. Though Virat’s recent form hasn’t been kind to him, his overall stats still makes him one of the scariest cricketers in the world. 

The likes of Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Dinesh Karthik and Sanju Samson will form the middle order of team India. Out of the above four names, Suryakumar Yadav, Dinesh Karthik and Rishabh Pant will be the first choice players.

Suryakumar Yadav was in a phenomenal touch during the IPL 2022. Though he had to miss a major part of the tournament due to injury, he played some brilliant cricket in whatever match he featured for Mumbai Indians

Rishabh Pant is an automatic choice for wicketkeeping. Moreover, his aggressive cricket makes it challenging for the opposition to control the game. However, the recent past hasn’t been memorable for the Delhi skipper in the T20s which will be a major concern for the selectors. 

Dinesh Karthik has made a commendable comeback to get back team India’s national selection once again. Karthik is in the form of his life and is constantly banging for his T20 World Cup 2022 selection. The RCB finisher has done excellent work in the IPL 2022 by giving some of the clinical finishes. Moreover, he has translated his performance to the T20Is as well.

Though Sanju Samson has an amazing record against his name in the IPL, his national outings remain under the scanner. Samson hasn’t had the best of the times in the T20Is for India in the opportunities he got. His name will certainly be on the cards, but there is no surety.

India’s Probable All Rounders for T20 World Cup 2022:

Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel will be India’s top all-rounders in the T20 World Cup 2022.

Hardik Pandya has once again sealed his place in the Indian team following his superlative performance in the IPL 2022 for Gujarat Titans. The Baroda all-rounder returned back to scoring runs and picking wickets with his skills.

Ravindra Jadeja has always been in the scheme of things for team India. He is electric in all dimensions of cricket and can’t be dropped off the team. Axar Patel will be India’s third all-rounder option for the T20 World Cup 2022.
