- KL Rahul has been injured for a while and all it depends upon is his availability if he misses out Sanju Samson should be the right choice considering his fearless power hitting prowess in the Powerplay.
Even though I was rooting for Shami, but he has not played for India for a while. With Harshal Patel performing well in England, he has made things difficult for Shami.
I don't understand this! Shami hasn't played for a while. Hence, he misses out!
Has KLR played? No! then why n earth should he walk into the side? Based on reputation alone? I'd still go to the WT20 without KLR and Kohli. With these two stat-padders in the side, the Indian team will face the same concerns as they used to in previous editions. Samson has proven that he is more than a handful in such cases.
Wicket Keepers
Rishabh Pant
Ishan Kishan
Dinesh Karthik
3!
If you consider KLR at the top, then it becomes 4! Not another repeat of the 2019 CWC. Ideally, you do not need Pant-given the mannerism of his play. Kishan is similar in that respect. However, with proven credentials at the top, my pick would be him. The ideal one to replace KLR. A slightly off-field selection could be Prithvi Shaw- he is another Sehwag-esque player who can get you off to fliers without a care in the world.
DK is my 1st choice as far as keeping goes for the WT20. Hard to see a side without him in it.
