#4 Vikram Rathour reveals management have identified core group for T20 WC

The core group of players that will represent the country in the T20 World Cup has already been identified, per Rathour

As per the batting coach of the Indian team, Vikram Rathour, the core of the T20 WC in Australia has already been identified. If the first two games in the New Zealand series were to be taken into consideration, Indian captain Virat Kohli trusted a certain group of players to take the mantle forward.

Rathour mentioned that other than some last-minute tweaks, the core of the WC T20 had already been identified. In the first two games, players like KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer and Manish Pandey showed tremendous resolve to take India home, battling crunch situations.

"Adjustments will keep going on till the last minute. But as far as I am concerned and the team management is concerned, we have the core. We know what our team is going to be. Unless there is a case of injury or really bad loss in form, I don't see many changes happening."

"Apart from having those (batting) skills, I think the mindset is amazing. He (Iyer) believes he is a big player, and he is, without any doubt. He genuinely believes that he is a match-winner and he is here to stay. And that mindset I think helps him, that is the biggest advantage he has."
