Yuvraj Singh’s Ideal XI for India’s T20 World Cup Campaign

India’s 15-member squad and four travelling reserves, led by Rohit Sharma, are set to participate in the T20I cricket’s marquee event, commencing on 1 June in West Indies and USA.

India’s quest for the T20 World Cup, a trophy they haven’t clinched since the inaugural edition in 2007, begins next month.

Yuvraj Singh, a member of the victorious 2007 team, is eager to see India lift the trophy once again. As the ambassador of the upcoming T20 World Cup, he has shared his preferred Indian team for the tournament.

Yuvraj suggests Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal as openers, followed by Virat Kohli and Surya Yadav. He also emphasizes the importance of left-hand, right-hand combinations in the batting line-up.

For the crucial wicket-keeper’s role, Yuvraj prefers Rishabh Pant over Sanju Samson, despite both being in excellent form in the ongoing Indian Premier League season.
