ICC T20 World Cup 2020: How could India line up? Probable squad & players pushing for a spot

Number 7

West Indies v India - One Day International Series

Ravindra Jadeja provides further balance to the team. Not a big spinner of the ball but with his immaculate line and length, Jadeja doesn't give much room to the batsmen which makes it tough to pick him apart. He is among the best fielders around the world. Having a career economy rate of 7, Jadeja puts pressure on the batsmen by not allowing them to score freely.

Number 8

West Indies v India - One Day International Series

Bhuvneshwar Kumar's strength lies in swinging the new ball. His control of the new ball and ability to move it both ways makes him very crucial in the power-play overs. He can be equally effective in the death overs with quite a few variations up his sleeves. Kumar has an economy rate of less than 7 in the format.

Number 9

2019 IPL Final - Mumbai v Chennai

Deepak Chahar has taken massive steps towards the T20 World Cup with his recent performances. 17 wickets in just 10 games is an incredible return for a player who has been on the fringes of the national side. He has the ability to swing the ball late. He can strike early in the power-play and stop the opposition from gaining momentum early in the inning. Being the highest wicket-taker with 8 wickets in the series against Bangladesh, the CSK bowler earned himself the man of the series award. Chahar is expected to be in the final XI.

Number 10

West Indies v India - One Day International Series

Yuzvendra Chahal is among the leading spinners in the game. Being genuine wicket-taking options, wrist spinners are the need of the hour in international cricket having more mystery about them than the finger spinners. Chahal has picked 52 wickets in 36 T20I matches at an impressive strike rate of 16.21. He has two 4 wicket hauls and one 5 wicket haul. Chahal seems to be the preferred option for India at the moment but it will be interesting to see if the management sticks with the bowler who spins the ball the same direction as Jadeja or go with other options.

Number 11

India v New Zealand - ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Semi-Final

Jasprit Bumrah is one of the most lethal bowlers in world cricket at the moment. Bumrah is among the top 10 bowlers in both Tests and ODI rankings. It's always difficult for the batsmen to pick the ball coming from that angle and the ability to bring the ball back into the right-hander often makes him unplayable. Currently recovering from an injury, Bumrah has picked 51 wickets in T20I in 42 matches with an economy rate of only 6.72. India will be hoping he is at the peak of his form during the marquee event.
