Rohit Sharma, the team’s captain, and Ajit Agarkar, the head of the national selection committee, are having a casual chat in Delhi about who should be in India’s T20 World Cup squad.
Deciding on Players: They’re trying to figure out which players should be on the team. Most spots are already decided, but there are a couple left to discuss.
When to Announce the Team: The official announcement of the 15 players will probably happen in Mumbai on May 1. That’s the last day they can do it before the tournament.
Thinking About Fitness: They’re worried about whether Hardik Pandya is fit enough to bowl. If he is, they’ll have to choose between Shivam Dube and Rinku Singh.
Who’s Doing Well: KL Rahul seems to be doing really well, so he’s likely to get picked over Sanju Samson.
Not Too Many Surprises: They’re not planning to pick any unexpected players. But they might consider Tilak Varma from Mumbai Indians because he’s good at both batting and bowling.
Deciding on Spinners: They’re still deciding between Axar Patel and Ravi Bishnoi for the third spinner spot. And even though Yuzvendra Chahal is really good, some coaches might not pick him.
Their chat in Delhi will help them make important decisions for India’s T20 World Cup team, like who’s in good shape, who’s playing well, and who fits best in the team.
