IND vs IRE T20 World Cup Updates: Shivam Dubey is a game changer, a big decision will have to be made to bring him into the playing XI.

New Delhi. Indian cricket team is going to start their campaign in T20 World Cup 2024 today on Wednesday. India’s first match is against Ireland. Ireland may not be title contenders, but the Indian team will not make the mistake of taking it lightly. The conditions, weather and pitches of the T20 World Cup being played in America are already challenging. In such a situation, the Indian team is going to enter the field with full strength from the very first match.

The Indian team does not have much experience of playing in America. In the matches played in America so far, the pitch has been troubling the batsmen. In such a situation, the Indian team can pay more attention to their batting. In particular, efforts will be made to strengthen the middle-lower order, for which Shivam Dubey is being discussed in the playing eleven.

India may have to take a very tough decision to include Shivam Dubey in the playing eleven. For this, Indian captain Rohit Sharma may have to drop his regular opening partner Yashshwi Jaiswal from the playing eleven. Virat Kohli can be opened in place of Jaiswal. This will also mean that the responsibility of batting fast in the Powerplay will fall entirely on Rohit as Virat often prefers to play longer innings by standing at one end.

India’s Probable Playing XI: Rohit Sharma (captain), Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dubey, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh.
