The T20 series will be held on July 7, 9, 10 consecutively. The Indian team for this was announced recently. The Indian youth team will play in the first T20I and the senior players will play in the next two matches. Rohit Sharma will act as the captain.
First D20: Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Rudraj Gaikwad, Sanju Samson, Suryakumar Yadav, Deepak Hooda, Rahul Tripathi, Dinesh Karthik, Hardik Pandya, Venkatesh Iyer, Yujvendra Sahal, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Harshal Patel, Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh , Umran Malik.
Dinesh Karthik Location:
Since there are not many senior players in this team, it is almost certain that Dinesh Karthik will be on the field. It is also believed that Sanju Samson will get a chance to replace Ruduraj Gaikwat.
Add Samson?
The reason is that Samson can predict the bouncers correctly on pitches that favor fast bowling. He can score more runs in Aussie and England grounds. Also, as Umran Malik performed well in the practice T20 tournament, it is expected that he will also get a chance.
Great opportunity for Hooda:
It is also an important match for Deepak Hooda. Shreyas Iyer is struggling badly against the bouncer while he continues to accumulate runs. And Hooda can bowl overs too. Thus, Hooda is forced to continue to play aggressively if Shreyas Iyer is to be pushed back.
Indian Intended Squad (First T20I): Rohit Sharma (captain), Ishan Kishan, Sanju Samson, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Deepak Hooda, Dinesh Karthik, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Harshal Patel, Yujvendra Sahal, Avesh Khan / Umran Malik.
