Sanju Samson and Yuzvendra Chahal earned spots in India's provisional T20 World Cup squad due to their impressive performances in the IPL. However, Shubman Gill and power-hitter Rinku Singh were placed in the reserves as selectors opted for established players for the upcoming event in June. The BCCI unveiled the squad led by Rohit Sharma following discussions between secretary Jay Shah and chief selector Ajit Agarkar in Ahmedabad. Rohit and Agarkar are set to address the media in Mumbai on Thursday.
Despite his recent struggles, all-rounder Hardik Pandya retained the vice-captaincy, having led Mumbai Indians in the ongoing IPL. Another hard-hitting batsman, Shivam Dube, secured a spot following his impressive performances for Chennai Super Kings.
"There was much deliberation over Hardik's inclusion, whereas Samson's spot wasn't debated extensively. Unfortunately, Rinku was left out. It was a close call between Dube and Rinku, with Hardik also in the mix," revealed a BCCI source.
Samson, who excelled both as a batsman and captain for Rajasthan Royals in the IPL, was named the backup wicketkeeper behind Rishabh Pant, edging out contenders like KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan. Leg-spinner Chahal, absent from the national team since August 2023, joins Kuldeep Yadav as the second wrist spinner in the squad.
Gill, leading Gujarat Titans in the IPL, and big-hitting Rinku Singh found themselves among the standby players. The selectors showed faith in Yashasvi Jaiswal, who bounced back with a dazzling century for Rajasthan Royals after a slow start in the IPL. Virat Kohli completes the formidable top order after showcasing strong batting displays in the IPL.
The T20 World Cup kicks off on June 2 in the USA and the Caribbean, with India facing Ireland in their opening match on June 5 in New York.
Indian Squad for T20 World Cup:
Rohit Sharma (Captain), Hardik Pandya (Vice Captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (WK), Sanju Samson (WK), Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. Siraj.
Reserves:
Shubman Gill, Rinku Singh, Khaleel Ahmed, and Avesh Khan.
