Injured Ravindra Jadeja is not a part of the final fifty of the T20 World Cup, but the good thing is that the team’s leading fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is back in the team. Ravi Bishnoi and Avesh Khan are out of the squad for the Asia Cup 2022. The remaining 13 players are the same, while Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel have returned. The Indian team performed poorly in the Asia Cup and the team could not reach the final. Young fast bowler Arshdeep Singh has also been kept in the main team.
India Pick Four Pacers Plus Hardik Pandya For T20 World Cup!
India returned to their four pacers plus Hardik Pandya (as the fifth option) strategy after their strategy of picking three specialist fast-bowlers backfired in Asia Cup 2022. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Arshdeep Singh retained their places in the T20 WC team from the Asia Cup squad, while Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel recovered from their injuries in time to give India a massive boost for T20 World Cup.
One title 🏆
