Team India:
In June this year, ICC T20 World Cup 2024 will be played on the soil of America and West Indies. Organizers have geared up for this mega event and are finalizing their preparations. Instructions have also been issued to all the 20 teams participating in the World Cup to submit their 15-member squad by May 1.

At the same time, the Indian squad will also be announced in the end of April. The selection committee headed by Ajit Agarkar and Team India captain Rohit Sharma is going to meet in Delhi on 28-29 April. Meanwhile, news of a major change in the squad of the blue jersey team (Team India) is coming out.

There will be change in the opening pair

In fact, in many media reports that came out in recent times, it was claimed that veteran batsman Virat Kohli will open for Team India along with captain Rohit Sharma in the T20 World Cup 2024. Seeing Kohli's performance in IPL 2024, the reports seemed credible. But now young opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal has also presented his claim in the blue jersey team as an opener by scoring a stormy century.

Jaiswal has challenged not only Kohli but also strong players like Ishan Kishan, Shubman Gill and KL Rahul in the opening race, which he will probably win.

Scored a century against Mumbai

Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a brilliant century for Rajasthan Royals while playing against Mumbai Indians on Monday. The left-handed batsman played an unbeaten century of 104* runs with the help of 9 fours and 7 sixes in just 60 balls. During this period his strike rate was 173.33.

Jaiswal had not been able to play a single half-century innings so far this season. In such a situation, doubts were being raised about his being in the team and opening with Rohit Sharma. But now, thanks to this stormy century, Yashasvi is ready to return to form. He has scored 225 runs in the 8 matches played so far in IPL 2024 at an average of 32.14 and strike rate of 157.34.

Team India's probable squad for T20 World Cup

Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rinku Singh, Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dubey, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh.
