Under the experienced leadership of Rohit Sharma and the vibrant vice-captaincy of Hardik Pandya, India's squad brings a strong combination of expertise and agility. Rohit’s leadership has been instrumental in past campaigns, while Hardik, despite his fluctuating form, brings an aggressive edge to the game.

The presence of seasoned players like Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav adds depth to the batting line-up, ensuring India can tackle various bowling attacks with confidence. Their roles will be crucial, especially in steadying the innings or anchoring the chase in high-stakes matches.

India's spin arsenal looks robust with the inclusion of Yuzvendra Chahal, who has returned to the squad based on his outstanding performances in the IPL. He joins forces with Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, and Kuldeep Yadav, forming a strategic quartet capable of exploiting any pitch.

Chahal’s knack for taking key wickets at crucial junctures will be complemented by Jadeja and Patel’s economical overs, while Yadav's unique wrist spin could provide the x-factor, crucial for breaking partnerships and restricting scoring rates in middle overs.

Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube provide additional seam-bowling options, bringing versatility and depth to the attack. Their ability to swing the ball and execute at crucial moments will be vital for India's success, especially in stadiums known for their conducive pace conditions.
