Batting is an area in which Indians are excelling at the shorter formats of the game due to the depth in their arsenal. Not only the international players but also the fringe players are knocking the doors to get into the Indian team with impressive domestic performances.
The likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina, Shikhar Dhawan and Ajinkya Rahane are certainties to be in the 15-member squad. Apart from Gurkeerat Mann who has become a part of the team, Manish Pandey, Mandeep Singh, Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer and Kedar Jadhav are likely to get a look-in as these players have performed consistently in the domestic circuit for a while.
India’s hero in the 2007 World T20 Yuvraj Singh will also be in the 30-man list and should also find himself in the 15 after a stellar domestic season. Ambati Rayudu who was dropped from the Indian side could also feature in the 30.
