How India's T20 World Cup squad is shaping up

Fast bowlers

Jasprit Bumrah

Certainty

Jasprit Bumrah

With a barrage of fast bowlers in the mix, Jasprit Bumrah is the only fast bowler who is sure of a place in the squad. Bumrah will be leading an explosive Indian fast-bowling attack in the T20 World Cup.

Contenders

Mohammed Shami, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Deepak Chahar, Navdeep Saini, Shardul Thakur

India have a problem of plenty in the pace department. Deepak Chahar, Navdeep Saini and Shardul Thakur have got an extended run owing to injuries to the leading pacers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah. All the fast bowlers have performed well since then, and are in contention for a place in the final 15.

Navdeep Saini

Verdict

Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Deepak Chahar, Navdeep Saini

Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Deepak Chahar might be injured at the moment, but expect them to be in the side once they are fit. Navdeep Saini has troubled the batsmen with his pace and will be a handful on Australian pitches.

Shami and Thakur, despite good performances, might be the unlucky ones to miss out.

Final squad prediction

Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli (c), Shreyas Iyer, Manish Pandey, Rishabh Pant (wk)*, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Deepak Chahar, Navdeep Saini
