Virat Kohli And Rohit Sharma Removed, Rinku Singh Entry Confirmed: India’s New Confirmed T20I Setup If Ajit Agarkar Becomes Chairman Of Selectors. The Indian T20I team has been going in transition for a while. After they suffered a disappointing loss in the semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2022, Hardik Pandya has taken over the charge of the team whereas seniors like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and others have been rested.

Some more changes are likely to be taken as a new selector is set to take charge. BCCI recently invited applications for the chief selector and as per the various reports former Indian pacer Ajit Agarkar is most likely to take the charge. With T20 World Cup 2024 just around the corner, it’s likely that some changes will be around and the management would be looking to build a strong core for the tournament.

Shubman Gill a brainer has locked his spot in the Indian team in all three formats. It’s fair to say that he’s of a similar caliber as that of Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli and is the best candidate to be the future best batter of the Indian team. He has been consistent in this format as well and has scored truckloads of runs.

Yashasvi Jaiswal has risen to the ranks after his staggering performance in the IPL 2023. The southpaw has grabbed the eyeball of many as his attacking mindset is something that has attracted many. He’s likely to be the aggressor at the top of the team. Along with him, Ruturaj Gaikwad too is expected to be there as one of the openers in the team. He has been part of the Indian setup for a while.

The middle order of the Indian T20I team is likely to see some fresh faces as well, keeping in mind the next T20 World Cup. Suryakumar Yadav has been appointed as the vice-captain of the team in the shortest format of the game and has been one of the best batters going in world cricket in this format of the game.

Sanju Samson, who has been one of the most consistent batters in the IPL as well as the domestic circuit, is likely to keep wickets in the team. He has been part of the team for a while and it is expected that he’ll get a longer rope in the team.

Apart from him, Jitesh Sharma will probably be the second keeper in the team as he too has been going great guns in the shortest format of the game, scoring runs consistently.

Rinku Singh, who hogged the headlines after smashing 5 sixes in an over in IPL, is also likely to be fast-tracked into the team. He has been scoring runs consistently in the domestic circuit and in the IPL, which makes his case strong even more for the Indian team.

Skipper Hardik Pandya is likely to take the captaincy of the team in the shortest format of the game. He has proved his mettle both as a player as well as a leader. He has been leading the team in the T20Is after the T20 World Cup 2022 and has been fantastic, winning every series.

Along with him, it is expected that Axar Patel will be another all-rounder in the team as in the last few months he has been exceptional with both bat and ball. The all-rounder has contributed equally well with both bat and ball and has many times bailed the team out of trouble.

Spinners – Ravi Bishnoi, Kuldeep Yadav

The spin department of the Indian cricket team If Ajit Agarkar Becomes Chief Selector might see Ravi Bishnoi making a comeback into the team after being dropped without any reason. The leg-spinner has been bowling extremely well in the T20s and it’s fair to say that he might well many replace Yuzvendra Chahal in the team.

Along with Ravi Bishnoi, Kuldeep Yadav too will be in the mix for India. After struggling to find the form for a while, the chinaman bowler has been bowling decently well in the format and has been and can lock his place in the team as well.

Pacers – Arshdeep Singh, Umran Malik, Mukesh Kumar, Shivam Mavi

The pace department in the Indian team might not see changes as the young players have been performing extremely well and have been winning games for India as well. Arshdeep Singh has taken the charger as the leader of the attack and has been quite handy with new balls as well as in the death overs.

Umran Malik has hurried the opposition batters with his pace and it is likely that he will be part of the team for a long time if groomed well he will be a great asset for the team. Along with him Mukesh Kumar and Shivam Mavi are also expected to find places in the team. This will help India prepare a strong pace battery as well and keep the team for the future as well.
