India T20 World Cup Squad 2024 & Matches Schedule

BCCI selection committee along with long discussions with the captain Rohit Sharma has finally confirmed the India T20 World Cup squad 2024 which has some very exciting prospects and on paper, it looks like a very formidable lineup. Team India will be looking to win this World Cup title after a billion passionate cricket fans faced heartbreak in the last ODI World Cup. A lot of discussions were made on media regarding the poor form of Hardik Pandya but the selection committee has kept their faith in him and named him the vice-captain of the team. Below, we have discussed the complete India squad and match schedule for ICC T20 World Cup 2024 in detail.

India T20 World Cup Squad 2024

The India T20 World Cup Squad for 2024 is meticulously assembled, showcasing a robust blend of experienced stalwarts and dynamic young talents. This lineup is strategically curated to leverage both seasoned expertise and youthful exuberance, potentially giving India a competitive edge in the high-stakes tournament environment.

Focusing on the batting department, key batters like Rohit Sharma, who also serves as the captain, and Virat Kohli bring a wealth of experience and reliability. Their ability to anchor innings while maintaining aggressive scoring rates is vital for setting formidable targets or chasing down stiff scores. Additionally, Suryakumar Yadav adds a flair for innovation and adaptability in the middle order, capable of accelerating the run rate through his unorthodox shot selection.

On the bowling front, the squad features a balanced mix of pace and spin, addressing various match situations and pitch conditions expected in the West Indies and United States. Key bowlers include Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj, who are anticipated to lead the pace attack with their ability to deliver tight overs and strike regularly. Bumrah’s proficiency in executing yorkers during deathovers makes him a particularly valuable asset.

The spin department will be spearheaded by Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav, who offer contrasting styles—Chahal’s leg-spin and Kuldeep’s left-arm wrist spin—thereby providing tactical flexibility against different batting line-ups.

Complete Squad:

Rohit Sharma (C), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (WK), Sanju Samson (WK), Hardik Pandya (VC), Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj

Reserves: Shubman Gill, Rinku Singh, Khaleel Ahmed, Avesh Khan

India Winning Record in T20 World Cup

Initially capturing the title in the inaugural event, India set high expectations but has faced challenges in replicating that early success consistently. After their triumph in 2007, the team’s journey in subsequent tournaments has been a mix of near misses and early exits. In 2009, 2010, and 2012, India was ousted in the Round 2 stages, indicating a struggle to adapt to evolving game dynamics or possibly the pressures of high expectations.

The 2014 T20 World Cup saw a resurgence as India reached the finals, only to finish as runners-up. This performance was a significant improvement and showcased India’s ability to contest vigorously on the global stage. However, the following tournaments in 2016 and recent 2022 saw India reaching the semi-finals, demonstrating consistent but not top-tier finishes. The pattern suggests a competitive squad that often comes close but lacks the final push to clinch the title.
