Let us find out the 15-member squad of the best teams and their possibilities of winning the upcoming grand tournament.

Australia: The 2021 Defending Champions

On 1st May 2024, the Australian cricket team announced their 15-member squad and the exclusion of Steve Smith from the T20 World Cup squad has become a huge talking point. Many fans argued that Jake Fraser McGurk should have been included in the squad so that he would have had a chance to create a sensation in his international T20 debut.

Travis Head has proven himself as an explosive opener in the ongoing IPL 2024 season by scoring 338 runs in 8 matches. As a result, he establishes himself as a valuable asset for his team with an aggressive batting style that can add fuel to the batting lineup.

Compared to the 2023 ODI World Cup, Team India’s batting lineup has been strengthened with the inclusion of several left and right-handed batters. However, fans were disappointed for not including KL Rahul and Rinku Singh in the squad.

Mainly, Team India’s top three batters namely Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli can provide a magnificent start to the innings.

The explosive opening combination of Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal can provide a great start to their team. Additionally, Suryakumar Yadav’s 360-degree batting and Jasprit Bumrah’s unique pace bowling techniques will enhance the winning chances for the men in blue.

At the same time, Hardik Pandya — India’s vice-captain and current skipper of the Mumbai Indians, hasn’t been in his best form in the ongoing season of IPL 2024, which is a huge concern for all fans as well as the entire team.
