New Delhi. Sanju Samson may have made it to the Indian team for the T20 World Cup, but his place in the playing eleven is not going to be easy. When Yuvraj Singh, one of the biggest heroes of Indian cricket, chose India’s best playing eleven, it included Rishabh Pant and not Sanju Samson. Yuvraj Singh, who hit six sixes in an over, also explained the reason for this.
The T20 World Cup is to be held in West Indies and America from June 1. The Indian team’s first match is on June 5. What kind of playing eleven can the Indian team have in the T20 World Cup? Yuvraj Singh, who was the Player of the Tournament in the 2011 World Cup, has answered such questions openly. The official website of the ICC has published the entire conversation with Yuvraj Singh.
India never won the T20 World Cup after the start of IPL, will ‘Rohit Brigade’ be able to repeat the charisma of ‘Mahi Army’?
Talking about India’s possible playing eleven, Yuvraj Singh says that Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal will open. Virat Kohli will play at his favorite number 3. After this Suryakumar Yadav will come. Yuvraj says that India has many options for numbers 5-6, but he would like India to make a combination of left hander-right hander batsmen at these numbers.
Yuvraj Singh says, ‘I would probably choose Rishabh Pant. It is true that Sanju is in great form. He is also captaining well in the IPL. On the other hand, Rishabh Pant has also made a good comeback in the IPL. Rishabh Pant is a left-hander and has the ability to change the match. He has won many matches for India in the past as well. I think Pant is the player who can win matches on the big stage.’
ICC has chosen Yuvraj Singh as the brand ambassador of T20 World Cup 2024. Yuvi had hit six sixes in an over of Stuart Broad in the 2007 World Cup itself. When asked about the place of all-rounder Hardik Pandya, Yuvraj said, ‘Hardik is important for Team India. I think his bowling will prove to be decisive for Team India. But for this, it is important for him to remain fit. A lot will depend on Hardik’s fitness.
