India can give chance to new faces in India-Canada match. India have already secured their place in the Super-8.Team Canada has become an eliminator from the T20 World Cup
New Delhi. When the Indian team plays the last league stage match of the T20 World Cup 2024 against Canada today, fans will also have their eyes on the toss. Team India has already confirmed their place in the Super-8. Now it remains to be seen whether captain Rohit Sharma changes his playing XI before the next phase of the war. Indian team has brought Sanju Samson along with Rishabh Pant for wicketkeeping in this T20 World Cup which is going across 7 seas. Samson’s performance in T20s has been superb in the last few months.
It remains to be seen whether Rohit will try out the rest of his 15-man squad for the match against Canada. Rohit will also have the thought that he should not tamper with his winning combination. If the Hitmen give bench strength a chance, all eyes will be on youngster Yashaswi Jaiswal as well. Currently, Virat Kohli is opening for India with Hitmen. There is currently no place for Jaiswal in the playing XI. It remains to be seen whether he is given a chance today. It is likely that Jaiswal will be given a chance against Canada by resting either Rohit or Virat. Virat’s bat has been quiet so far in the tournament. The Hitmen can also rest themselves in this match and hand it over to captain Hardik Pandya.
What will happen to Kuldeep-Chahal?
Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal are also present in India’s 15-man squad. Although he will be given a chance in the playing-11, his chances seem slim. The Indian team has spin all-rounders like Ravindra Jadeja and Akshar Patel. Captain Rohit and coach Rahul Dravid want both to get maximum bowling and batting opportunities. Often the lower order batsmen get less chance to hold the bat and come into the field.
Who will India face in Super-8?
India beat Ireland first in the league stage. After this defeated Pakistan. In the end, the American team could not stand against Rohit Sharma and company. India are entering the Super-8 as table toppers in Group-A. The team now has to face Afghanistan on June 20. Apart from this, India also has a match against Australia. The name of the third team is yet to be decided.
India’s Probable Playing XI
Virat Kohli, Yashshwi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dubey, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammad Siraj
