The 2023 ODI World Cup is over, and the focus now shifts to the shortest format of the game as the 2024 T20 World Cup is all set to be conducted in June 2024 in the Caribbean Islands and the United States of America. The supporters of the Indian team would be hoping that the Men in Blue get their hands on the T20 World Cup Trophy this time around.



However, there are doubts regarding the participation of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in this year's Mega event. They both have not participated in any international 20-20 matches for the Men in Blue since their humiliating loss against England in the 2022 T20 World Cup Semi-Final. With the three T20i?s against Afghanistan being the final T20i assignment of the Indian Team before the 2024 World Cup, some rumors suggest that the BCCI wants to field a completely new-looking Indian team for this year's T20 World Cup.



But there's some good news for Indian Cricket Team fans. According to a report from PTI, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are really keen to play in the upcoming 2024 T20 World Cup. The duo have scored a lot of runs on the Caribbean pitches, and as the tournament progresses, matches are going to get even more intense and difficult, and the experience of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will play an important role in the Men in Blue?s success in the upcoming T20 World Cup.

Rohit Sharma is expected to lead the Men in Blue in this year's mega event and will also open the innings. Virat Kohli will play in his usual number 3 spot in the playing 11.



The T20i series against Afghanistan will kick off on January 11, and the players selected in the squad for that series will provide us some proper information regarding the availability of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli for the 2024 T20 World Cup.

T20 WC 2024: Australia's full Schedule for 2024 T20 World Cup

t20-wc-2024-australias-full-schedule-for-2024-t20-world-cup

Former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan has named his Indian squad for the T20 World Cup 2024. The mega event will take place in the month of June in the United States of America and the Caribbean and it will be for the first time that 20 teams will be taking part in it.&nbsp;



Irfan Pathan has surprised many with his Indian squad for the T20 World Cup 2024. The former Indian all-rounder hasn?t picked Rajasthan Royals (RR) skipper Sanju Samson in his team. The keeper-batter has looked in tremendous touch in the ongoing IPL and has amassed over 300 runs.&nbsp;



Skipper Rohit Sharma, young Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli make it into the three of the team picked by Irfan Pathan for the T20 World Cup 2024. The trio has looked in great touch in the ongoing <a href="https://www.iplt20.com" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.iplt20.com">IPL 2024</a> and their form will be crucial for the team going ahead. He also picked Shubman Gill as a backup opener.?

https://twitter.com/IrfanPathan/status/1782677475878949323
</div></figure>



Suryakumar Yadav and Rinku Singh got the nod as middle-order batters in the Pathan?s team. The former Indian all-rounder picked just one keeper in his team Rishabh Pant. The Delhi Capitals skipper has made a rollicking comeback and is looking fitter than ever.?

Pathan picked Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja as three all-rounders in the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup 2024. While Hardik so far has been struggling to get going in the IPL, Dube and Jadeja have been exceptional.&nbsp;



Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav will be two leg-spinners in the team according to Irfan Pathan. He picked three pacers in his team for the T20 World Cup 2024 Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh and Mohammad Siraj.?On the USA and Carribean pitches, the trio will be extremely important for the team and will hold a key value for the team.

Former India head coach Ravi Shastri named his two x-factors for India in the T20 WC 2024. He believes that both Yashasvi Jaiswal and <a href="https://www.iplt20.com" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.iplt20.com">Shivam Dube</a> will be key for team in the tournament as they will play fearless cricket.?



The T20 WC 2024 is all set to take place from 1st June in the Caribbean and the United States of America. India has named their squad for the tournament and they would be keen to clinch their first-ever ICC title since 2013.&nbsp;



The squad in India looks pretty balanced with Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav being the top 4. Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson are the two keepers in the team whereas Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Shivam Dube and Ravindra Jadeja are all-rounders.&nbsp;



In the bowling department, India has Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav as two leg-spinners. They have named three pacers in the team for the T20 WC Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj.&nbsp;



Ravi Shastri believes that? Yashasvi Jaiswal will be the one x-factor for India because he plays fearless cricket and will play his shots irrespective of the conditions. Speaking to ICC, he stated:?

?The two gentlemen you've got to watch out for, and both are left-handers, both playing their first World Cup.&nbsp;&nbsp;One is (Yashasvi) Jaiswal. We know a lot about him, he did extremely well against England, explosive at the top of the order, left-hander, he's young, he's fearless and he'll play shots.?



Talking about Shivam Dube, Ravi Shastri stated that the batter hits sixes for fun and believes that if India is in trouble, he can change the course of the game in 20 balls. He added:&nbsp;



"But there's someone in the middle order, please watch out for (him), because he is explosive, he's devastating and he's a match-winner. He hits sixes for fun, and when it comes to spin bowling, he can kill you. I think he holds the key at that number five, number six position because if you're on the doldrums, you want someone to change it in 20-25 balls, he's the player to go to."

The T20 World Cup 2024 is just around the world and the excitement has already taken its toll on the fans. The tournament will begin on 1st June with the final set to be played on 30th June. The event will be played in USA and Caribbean and it will see 20 teams taking part for the first time.&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">T20 World Cup 2024: India playing 11 for the T20 WC prediction</h2>



Going into the T20 World Cup 2024, India will be one of the favourites for the tournament. They have named a pretty balanced squad and with the combination of youth and experience, they would be backing themselves to get the glory.&nbsp;



Talking about the strongest playing 11 of the T20 World Cup 2024, skipper Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal will be the top contenders to open the innings. The duo will be crucial for the team as a lot would be dependent on him, considering the starts they will give to the team.



At No.3, Virat Kohli is likely to bat. He has been in terrific touch in the ongoing <a href="https://www.iplt20.com" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.iplt20.com">IPL 2024</a>. The team management would be hoping that the batter continues his good form and helps the team win the T20 World Cup 2024. Suryakumar Yadav, who is the No.1, T20I batter is expected to take the No.4 spot.?

Shivam Dube is likely to be the floater in the team as his prowess against spin would be handy for the team in the T20 World Cup 2024. Rishabh Pant is likely to be the keeper of the team. The two southpaws will be crucial for the team in the middle.&nbsp;



Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja are likely to be the two all-rounders. Along with Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav is expected to be the spinner in the team. With pitches not offering much for pacers in the USA and Caribbean, India is likely to play two frontline pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh.&nbsp;



Here?s the India playing 11 for the T20 World Cup prediction:

t20-world-cup-2024-india-playing-11-for-the-t20-wc-prediction

The T20 World Cup 2024 is here and the focus is on the Indian Cricket Team. The Men in Blue will be one of the hot favourites to win the tournament but for that, they need to bring out their A game and play fearlessly. It will be a great opportunity for them to end the drought of the <a href="https://www.icc-cricket.com/tournaments/t20cricketworldcup/index" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icc-cricket.com/tournaments/t20cricketworldcup/index">ICC title</a>, which they last won in 2013. ?



India will open their ICC T20 World Cup 2024 campaign on 5th June against Ireland. &nbsp; They will be playing the game at the Nassau County cricket stadium. They played a warmup game against Bangladesh and had a sensational outing with the bat and ball. They would be hoping to replicate the same in their first game of the tournament.&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">T20 World Cup 2024: India playing 11 for the game against Ireland prediction</h2>



As India?s first game in the T20 World Cup 2024 is around the corner, their combination has kept many speculating about it. There?s a no-brainer that skipper Rohit Sharma will be there at the top, opening the batting. He has been in decent touch and would be keen to make an impact.&nbsp;



The question remains who will open the innings alongside Rohit Sharma? In the warmup game, Sanju Samson came to open which depicts that Yashasvi Jaiswal might not be the starter in the team. Therefore, we might see Virat Kohli opening the batting.&nbsp;



He looked in terrific touch in the IPL while opening the batting and his being at the top might allow India to play both Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube in the mix. They both played in the warmup game and contributed with bat as well as ball, allowing India to have extra options with the ball.?

Rishabh Pant might take the No.3 role in the team. The keeper-batter played a sensational innings in the warmup game of the T20 World Cup 2024 against Bangladesh. He slammed a magnificent half-century while batting at 3 and with Kohli at the top, he is likely to the role.&nbsp;



Suryakumar Yadav will be taking the No.4 spot and along with him, it is expected that Shivam Dube and Hardik Pandya will be there in the middle as all-rounders along with Ravindra Jadeja, who will also be one of the spinners.



Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal are likely to be the two leg-spinners in the team. With conditions in New York being slow, India is likely to field two pacers in the team. Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh are expected to be two seamers in the team.&nbsp;
