While the squad offers a plethora of options, Sharma remained tight-lipped on the exact playing XI, emphasizing flexibility based on conditions.

However, the Indian captain clarified that he wanted four spinners for the T20 World Cup in the Americas but did not reveal the reason.

India have picked four spinners – Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel. However, what has raised quite a few eyebrows is not having a specialist off-spinner. While the Caribbean pitches might not be dust bowls, they can offer assistance to spinners. But having a variety of spin options, including an offspinner whould have allowed India to exploit any potential turn on offer.

Shedding a little bit of light on the matter, the Indian captain spoke about the timings of the match and said, “The matches start at 10 AM in the morning. There is a technical aspect involved in this. The reason for picking four spinners is something I won’t reveal now. But I will definitely say it there what is the reason behind it.”

Sharma’s comments hinted at a preference for three spinners, and with all the options available at his disposal, we take a deep dive into what India’s best-playing XI would look like.

1. Rohit Sharma
