Team India will be opening the T20 World Cup campaign against Ireland on June 5.
In the 2022 T20 World Cup, India lost in the semi-finals against England and the last time they won a T20 World Cup was in 2007.
Rohit Sharma and Co will look to end 11-year ICC trophy drought.
Here's the strength of Team India:
Team India has a strong batting lineup and that's their strength. Captain Rohit Sharma's fearless batting would be a plus for India in the powerplay.

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are the two key players to look after. Powerplay is crucial and if skipper Rohit Sharma starts going, we can expect a good score in the first 6 overs. Virat Kohli had a great IPL season and he will try to reflect it in the ongoing T20 tournament. When it comes to bowling, the team is dependent on Bumrah.
Weakness
Indian bowling has been a talking point, with the team being more dependent on their spinners. Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal had a good IPL outing and they will try to reflect it in the ongoing T20 World Cup. Bumrah has been the only standout bowler for India. He can control runs as well as pick wickets. He will be the key bowler in the death overs.
Team India Squad: Rohit Sharma (c), Hardik Pandya (vc), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (wk), Sanju Samson (wk), Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj.
