Despite India’s T20 World Cup drought since 2013, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is leaving no stone unturned in crafting a winning team. With the deadline for submitting the T20 World Cup Squad 2024 set for May 1, fans are eagerly awaiting the official announcement, expected in the final week of April.
Jhulan Goswami reveals India’s T20 World Cup 2024 squad
Amid this excitement, former Indian women’s cricket captain, Jhulan Goswami, has unveiled her meticulously curated 15-man squad for the upcoming tournament. This squad represents a strategic blend of seasoned veterans and rising stars, aimed at bringing home the coveted trophy.
At the helm of this formidable lineup stands the dynamic Rohit Sharma, renowned for his astute leadership and exceptional batting prowess. Joining him in the top order are stalwarts of Indian cricket, including the ever-reliable Virat Kohli, known for his consistency and match-winning abilities. Alongside him is the promising Yashasvi Jaiswal, whose fearless approach to batting has earned him accolades in the cricketing world.
In the middle order, the inclusion of Suryakumar Yadav adds depth and firepower, with his ability to accelerate the scoring rate and anchor the innings when needed. Behind the stumps, the explosive duo of Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson provide both batting prowess and wicketkeeping skills, giving the team a solid foundation. Unfortunately, KL Rahul failed to find a spot in Jhulan’s squad.

Veterans and rising stars
The all-round capabilities of Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja add a new dimension to the squad, providing valuable contributions with both bat and ball. Their presence lends balance and flexibility to the team, allowing for strategic maneuvers in any situation. Joining them into the squad are the promising all-rounder Shivam Dube and finisher Rinku Singh, providing additional depth and versatility to the team.
Leading the pace attack is the lethal Jasprit Bumrah, whose toe-crushing yorkers and impeccable line and length make him a potent threat to opposition batters. Supporting him are the fierce Mohammed Siraj and the emerging talent Arshdeep Singh, who bring raw pace and aggression to the bowling attack. In the spin department, the crafty Kuldeep Yadav and the wily Yuzvendra Chahal offer a variety of tricks up their sleeves, capable of bamboozling even the most experienced batters while Mukesh Kumar is a travelling reserve. Their ability to turn the game in India’s favour cannot be understated.
