Harsha Bhogle discussed the challenges of team selection and potential disagreements with his India T20 World Cup Squad. You may be surprised by one of Bhogle’s choices.
Harsha Bhhogle selected his India team for the T20 World Cup in 2024. His choice may surprise Indian cricketers. The ace cricket commentator says that he is unable to choose the Indian team because there are many different opinions.
Bhogle thinks there are just six players that choose themselves. They include: Rohit Sharma (or Virat Kohli), Suryakumar Jadav (or Jasprit Bumrah), Rishabh Panth, Ravindra Jadeja, and Jasprit Bumrah.

Bhogle selects Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma as his openings. Yashasvi is Jaiswal’s backup opener, in the event that Kohli moves up to number 3. Sanju Samson is his choice for the position, as he believes she’s “the best Indian T20 number 3 batsman”.
Bhogle believes Suryakumar is “the life of this team”, and he picks him as number 4. Bhogle selects Shivam Dube as the next player. Dube has performed well, says the cricket expert. Bhogle says Rishabh Pan has done “enough” for him to be selected.
Bhogle then picks Hardik Paandya, as “he still cannot be replaced in India”.

I’m worried about the way he bats. Hardik, the bowler, will, I am sure, be prepared for the T20 World Cup as he continues to bowl more. Bhogle believes that because he is batting at 6 and has to finish the game, he may not be batting well.
Harsha is also toying with the idea of Surya being at number 3, Hardik as 4, Pant at 5, and Dube at 6 in his order. He also mentions his “dear” friend Dinesh, who isn’t on his list because he chose a wicketkeeper at the top. Rinku Singh has been “caused harm by the Impact Subs” rule. Bhogle claims that KKR is playing him low so no one knows his batting style.
He then chooses Ravindra Jadeja or Axar Patel as Jaddu’s replacements, since they can both bat. Kuldeep is selected as “a genuine wicket-taker”.

Bumrah is his choice for pacers. Arshdeep and Mohammed Siraj also make the list. Sandeep Sharma is his surprising choice. He can “swing forward and bowl the ball at the end”. Many may be surprised by this choice, as few cricket experts have included Sharma in their list of probables.
This is the team Bhogle selected:
Batsman: Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Sanju Samson, Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube
Rishabh Pan, Wicketkeeper
All-rounder: Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel
Spinner, Kuldeep Yadav
Pacers: Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj, Sandeep Sharma
