India vs. Ireland T20 World Cup: Indian Team
India’s key decision revolves around who will open alongside captain Rohit Sharma. Options include the seasoned Virat Kohli, IPL’s highest run-getter, and the left-handed Yashasvi Jaiswal. While Kohli’s performance has been consistent, Jaiswal and Sharma struggled in the IPL.
Team India Wicketkeeper-Batter Choice
Rishabh Pant is expected to be the first-choice wicketkeeper-batter after a strong performance in the warm-up and an impressive IPL season. Sanju Samson also presents a strong case for inclusion, but Pant’s dynamic shot-making may give him an edge.Team India Bowling Strategy
India’s bowling lineup is another critical consideration. The management might opt for a combination of three pacers, including Hardik Pandya, and two spinners, or alternatively, four pacers with a single spinner. Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja are likely to be the preferred spinners, with Jasprit Bumrah and either Mohammed Siraj or Arshdeep Singh spearheading the pace attack.
