Following the conclusion of India\u2019s five-match T20I series against South Africa, speculation over India\u2019s likely roster for the forthcoming T20 World Cup 2022 has grown significantly. Many sports experts have begun to weigh in on what they believe would be the best combination for Team India to compete in the global showcase event.<\/p>\n
Irfan Pathan<\/a>, former India all-rounder, has named his best India XI for the 20-over competition. When picking this team, Irfan Pathan considered a number\u00a0of variables, including the players\u2019 current form and experience. KL Rahul<\/a> and Rohit Sharma<\/a> were named as their team\u2019s openers, Virat Kohli<\/a> has been named the team\u2019s third batsman, followed by Suryakumar Yadav<\/a> at number four.\u00a0Rishabh Pant<\/a>, the wicketkeeper-batter, was shockingly left out of Irfan Pathan\u2019s starting XI. Hardik Pandya<\/a> and Ravindra Jadeja<\/a> were the two all-rounders, with Dinesh Karthik<\/a> being the wicket-keeper. The four bowlers were Yuzvendra Chahal<\/a>, Jasprit Bumrah<\/a>, Harshal Patel<\/a> and Bhuvneshwar Kumar.<\/a><\/p>\n Due to his recent batting achievements, Irfan selected Dinesh Karthik over Rishabh Pant. Pant participated in the recently concluded T20I series against South Africa, where he struggled to score 57 runs in four games with a strike rate of 105.55. Karthik, on the other hand, has been in excellent form with the bat recently and is Irfan\u2019s first choice wicketkeeper for the T20 World Cup.<\/p>\n Irfan Pathan playing XI: \u00a0\u00a0<\/i><\/strong>KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma (c), Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik (wk),<\/em> Ravindra Jadeja, Harshal Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Irfan Pathan, former Indian cricket team all-rounder, left Rishabh Pant out of his playing XI for the ICC T20 World Cup 2022.
