Mumbai: With the Indian cricket team for the T20 World Cup to be announced this week, fans are anxious to see who will make it to the 15-man squad. Malayalees are also hoping that Malayalee star Sanju Samson will be in the World Cup team. But no matter who is out, former Indian player Robin Uthappa has selected two players who will definitely get a place in the World Cup team.
Uthappa told Cricinfo that pacer Arshadeep Singh and pacer Deepak Chahar are the two pacers who will definitely get a place in the World Cup squad. Uthappa also said that there will be five pacers in India’s 15-member squad. India’s pace line-up will consist of Jasprit Bumrah, Harshal Patel, Deepak Chahar, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Arshadeep Singh. Hardik Pandya will be the sixth pacer.

India’s method will be to bowl Bhuvneshwar Kumar Mann over in the power play and then bowl one more in the middle overs to complete the quota. Uthappa also said that Bumrah, Harshal or Arshadeep will bowl in the death overs. Uthappa also stated that the poor performance in the Asia Cup almost closed the chances of Josh Khan in the World Cup.
The comforting news came out today that Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel, who were out of the Asia Cup due to injury, have proved their fitness. Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s lack of color in the death overs in the Asia Cup led to India’s two crucial defeats in the Super Four and their exit from the tournament.

While it is almost certain that Cayenne pacer Arshadeep Singh, who shone in the Asia Cup and the series against the West Indies, will be in the World Cup team, it is still uncertain whether Deepak Chahar will be back in the team after a long injury break.
