Team India has been announced for the T20 World Cup. The team announced by BCCI on Tuesday includes 15 players along with 4 reserve players. Rohit Sharma will captain the team while Hardik Pandya will take the responsibility of vice-captain. Team India's team includes 4 all-rounders and 5 bowlers among the 15 players. The special thing about the team is that KL Rahul has been dropped. Also some young players have been given a chance.

KL Rahul out

The biggest issue in Team India's team is the exclusion of KL Rahul. Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson have been made wicketkeepers in place of KL. This might be the first time that KL Rahul has not been able to make it to a major tournament. It was included in the last World Cup. The special thing is that even these days he is in great form. KL has scored 378 runs in 9 matches at an average of 42.00. His strike rate is 144.27. He has also scored 3 half-centuries.

KL was in the race for wicketkeeper, but in-form Sanju Samson and Rishabh Pant won. Dinesh Karthik has also been kept out as wicketkeeper. 38 year old Dinesh Karthik has performed brilliantly in this IPL, although his performance in the World Cup has been very poor. Perhaps this is the reason why he has not been given a chance. Karthik has talked about retiring after IPL. Recently he had also expressed his desire to play in the World Cup, but now his wish has remained unfulfilled.

Shivam Dubey got a chance

Shivam Dubey has been given a chance as an all-rounder. His name was in discussion for a long time. Shivam has impressed everyone with his batting in this IPL season. In 9 matches of IPL, he has scored 350 runs at an average of 58.33 and strike rate of 172.41. Which includes 3 half-centuries. A left-handed batsman and a right-handed bowler. Dubey, who made his debut against Bangladesh in November 2019, has so far scored 276 runs in 21 T20 International matches at an average of 39.42. Whereas in bowling he has taken 8 wickets. Dubey's hard-hitting ability and excellent batting in the middle order can prove to be the trump card for India.

Hardik Pandya got the responsibility

Hardik Pandya has been facing criticism for his performance for some time now. However, along with being included in the team, he has also been given a big responsibility like vice-captain. Pandya has so far scored 197 runs in 9 matches in the IPL at an average of 24.63. Whereas in bowling he has taken 4 wickets in 9 matches. As Rohit's deputy, Hardik will have a big responsibility.

A pair of bowlers

The pair of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal has been included in bowling. This pair, popularly known as Kulcha, has performed brilliantly on any big stage till now. Both can prove to be effective on the pitches of America and West Indies. Both the bowlers are in great form in IPL also. The names of three fast bowlers include Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj.

opportunity for young players

Young players have been given a chance in stand-by. However, Rinku Singh could not make it to the list of 15 players. It is kept in reserve. Confidence has been expressed in Rinku Singh, Avesh Khan and Khalil Ahmed in the reserves. Khalil Ahmed, who made his T20 debut against West Indies in 2018, has taken 13 wickets in 14 matches so far. However, Rinku has scored less runs in this IPL. Rinku has scored 123 runs in 9 matches at an average of 20.50, but Rinku Singh has proved herself to be an excellent finisher. In case of injury to a player or in special circumstances, a reserve player is given a chance.
