One format where there won’t be any ambiguity is T20 Internationals where Hardik Pandya will
lead India, including in next year’s T20 World Cup in the Americas (West Indies and USA).
The T20I team would be purely based on IPL performers and one can expect the likes of Rinku
Singh and Jitesh Sharma to make the cut in the final squad, as teams in the past lacked
finishers.
Ruturaj Gaikwad’s comeback and Yashasvi Jaiswal’s inclusions also look imminent while Mohit
Sharma could earn a well-deserved comeback after his 27 wickets in last IPL.
While Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are being phased out of the shortest format, the likes of
Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj could be rested considering their workload and the
upcoming ODIs before the World Cup.
