Team India at the 2022 T20 World Cup

India are heading into the World Cup on the back of two successive T20 bilateral series wins against hosts Australia and South Africa. With a formidable squad, skipper Rohit Sharma will be confident of the chances to lift the trophy. Explosive batsman Suryakumar Yadav’s phenomenal form in 2022 is likely to be crucial along with its biggest star Virat Kohli’s return to form in recent times. The biggest setback for India which might cost the team at the tournament is the bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah who is unavailable due to injury.]
