Former Indian cricketing sensation Virender Sehwag has unveiled his India Playing XI for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup, and it comes with a few unexpected twists. The most notable absence is that of Hardik Pandya, raising eyebrows among fans and pundits alike.

Sehwag’s Bold Picks
Sehwag’s lineup sees the exclusion of Hardik Pandya, with Sehwag suggesting that Pandya might still make the 15-member squad, but the finisher’s role could be filled by either Rinku Singh or Shivam Dube. However, the real surprise comes with the inclusion of Sandeep Sharma, the Rajasthan Royals’ pace bowler, in Sehwag’s India Playing XI.

Stable Top Order, Middle Order Reshuffle
At the top of the order, Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal form a formidable opening partnership, with Virat Kohli following at number 3 and Suryakumar Yadav holding his place at number 4. The middle order sees the return of Rishabh Pant, while the crucial finisher’s spot remains up for grabs.

Sandeep Sharma’s Breakthrough Moment
Sandeep Sharma’s inclusion in the pace trio alongside Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj comes as a surprise to many, but Sehwag appears to have been impressed by Sharma’s performances during the IPL 2024 season, earning him a spot in the prestigious lineup.

Virender Sehwag’s India T20 World Cup XI:

  1. Rohit Sharma
  2. Yashasvi Jaiswal
  3. Virat Kohli
  4. Suryakumar Yadav
  5. Rishabh Pant
  6. Rinku Singh/Shivam Dube
  7. Ravindra Jadeja
  8. Kuldeep Yadav
  9. Jasprit Bumrah
  10. Mohammed Siraj
  11. Sandeep Sharma

Sehwag’s picks may raise eyebrows, but they certainly add an element of intrigue to India’s T20 World Cup prospects.
