India's possible squad for the World T20Last night, India created history by becoming the first team in 140 years to whitewash Australia in a series in Australia. Now, with this 3-0 win, India will go into the 2016 World T20 with a lot of confidence. India are already the red-hot favourites for the tournament that will take place in India.MS Dhoni, after last night’s victory, said that this will be the most likely Indian squad that will play in the World T20. With just over 40 days to go for the tournament, the ICC have set a deadline on February 8 for all the teams to announce their 15 member squads. February 8 is just a week away and let us take a look at the possible Indian squad for the World T20.
#1 Batsmen
As far as the batting department is concerned, everything is almost settled in the Indian team. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are in the form of their lives and they will be the first two names on the team sheet for the World T20.
Rohit is certain to open the innings, but his batting partner is not yet decided. Shikhar Dhawan and Ajinkya Rahane fighting for one spot and with the performances in the T20 series against Australia, Dhawan might just get the nod ahead of Ajinkya Rahane.
Virat Kohli will be the number 3 batsman and following him, India will have their T20 specialist Suresh Raina. With these names, it will be very difficult for some other batsman to get their eye in. Manish Pandey, who scored a 100 in Sydney will be the backup batsman in the squad.
Batsmen: Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, Ajinkya Rahane, Suresh Raina, Manish Pandey
