The much-awaited announcement of the Indian squad for the 20-20 World Cup took place on Monday which made the cricket-loving public in India go crazy. The pace attack looks strong with the likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel returning back to the fold. Mohammad Shami has been drafted into the squad as a standby fast bowler.
The spin department is very experienced as well with the responsibility falling on Yuzvendra Chahal, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Axar Patel. Ravi Bishnoi is in the standbys as a backup leg spinner. With regards to the keeper’s slot, there has been a heated debate about who should the preferred choice be. Will it be Rishabh Pant or Dinesh Karthik, but in the end, both have earned a spot in the Indian Team for the 20-20 World Cup.
It is still a mystery as to who will be the more wanted option in the playing eleven. Will the management go with the X-factor of Rishabh Pant or the finishing skills of Dinesh Karthik? The question will only be answered just before India’s first game of the 20-20 World Cup.
The pace department has a lot of depth this time around, which was not the case in Asia Cup 2022. The big omission is Ravindra Jadeja, who is still recovering after his surgery that he underwent for his knee injury and for that reason Axar Patel comes in for Ravindra Jadeja as a left-hand batting option in the middle order and also as one who can bowl his full quota of overs of left arm spin.
Hardik Pandya will only be used as the sixth bowling option at the World Cup and the way the seam attack is put in place, Bhuvneshwar Kumar will bowl at the top for India in tandem with Jasprit Bumrah.

Twitter was abuzz, let us take a look at the reactions here-
Now a days being a fan of @IamSanjuSamson is the toughest thing… It's very shocking Sanju Samson is not in any India's squad, not in T20 world cup squad and not even for Australia and South Africa series. pic.twitter.com/74S9Lw3WR5
very surprised to see t20 squad of #india their fast bowling is concern and they did not selected shami siraj in the main 15 😯 very surprising bating will remain the same i think selection is on the basis of name#T20WorldCup2022
India T20 squad dekh kar mujhe nahi lagta hai India semifinals tak bhi Jaa sakta hai .Lekin mujhe doo admi par Bharosa hai India final mein Jaa sakta hai aur match Jeet bhi sakta hai ek @imVkohli and ek @DineshKarthik@ImRo45 baki koi player run karega ye Asha rakhna galat hai
People question Ravichandran Ashwin's place in India's T20 World Cup squad are forgetting that he has 14 wkts in the last 10 T20Is for India at an Econ of 6.10, which is the best among Indian spinners with a min. of 10 wkts since 2021.
Rohit Sharma was dropped from the World Cup squad in 2011, but this time he will lead Team India in the T20 World Cup. This journey is the true example of Rohit's tweet "Sun Will Rise Again Tomorrow". His journey is full of inspiration. Very proud of you @ImRo45🥺❤️#RohitSharmapic.twitter.com/qb95E76XK3
