BCCI confirms Rohit Sharma as captain for India's T20 World Cup 2024 title defense. The swashbuckling opener, who was part of the team that lifted the trophy in 2007, has amassed over 11,000 T20 runs across 400+ matches.

Virat Kohli's magnificent IPL form signals a powerful comeback. As the IPL 2024 leading run-scorer (316 runs, 105.33 avg, 146.29 strike rate), he's a strong contender to reclaim his T20 World Cup spot. His dominance could even see him open alongside Rohit Sharma.
Rinku Singh, a hard-hitting middle-order batsman, is a strong contender to retain his place in India's T20 World Cup 2024 squad. Singh has impressed with several match-winning performances for both India and the Kolkata Knight Riders. His impressive T20 record, boasting close to 2,500 runs at a strike rate of 148.86 in 114 matches, makes him a valuable asset. He is likely to be deployed as India's finisher in the upcoming World Cup.

According to the reports in Cricbuzz, the Indian think tank is convinced with Pant's fitness and form. The left-hander is leading the Delhi Capitals in the IPL and has done well behind the wickets while also scoring two fifties in five matches so far. Pant has amassed 153 runs in five outings this season at a strike-rate of 154.54 and an average of 30.6.
Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has staked a claim in the T20 World Cup squad based on his brilliant performances in IPL 2024. Chahal has been the leading wicket-taker in the tournament, having bagged eight wickets in four matches at an economy of 6.35.

IPL 2024 breakout star, young pacer Mayank Yadav, is making a compelling case for a surprise inclusion in India's T20 World Cup squad. With his raw pace and impressive early showing in the IPL, picking up six wickets at a miserly economy of six in just three matches, Yadav could be the X-factor India needs.
