“They have their all-rounders in and their batting covered.” They can play some really nice combinations and have extremely high-quality spin,” Sangakkara remarked.
Director of Cricket for Rajasthan Royals Kumar Sangakkara has backed India to have a strong 2024 T20 World Cup campaign. On June 5 in New York, the Men in Blue are scheduled to kick off their campaign against Ireland in the major event.
According to the former captain of Sri Lanka, India’s team is well-balanced, with talented players in every position. According to Sangakkara, skipper Rohit Sharma and head coach Rahul Dravid will have the flexibility to use two or three different lineups, based on their preference for greater depth in their bowling or batting departments.
This is a really powerful team. They have their all-rounders in and their batting covered. They can play really excellent combinations and have very high-quality spin,” Sangakkara remarked on Wednesday, the eve of Rajasthan’s match against Hyderabad.
“I’m sure Rahul (Dravid) and Rohit (Sharma) have a good idea of what the squad should be to play the cricket they want in the World Cup, knowing the conditions there.” Additionally, they will have two or three distinct lineups based on their preference for stronger bowling or a deeper batting lineup. However, the team is really strong and well-balanced, and India has a long history of success in international competitions,” he continued.
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Yuzvendra Chahal, and skipper Sanju Samson, all of the Rajasthan Royals, have been included in the Indian team for the major tournament, while Avesh Khan, another Royal, has been included in the reserve list.
On the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 points standings, the reigning champions are currently in first place. Sangakkara praised the players for maintaining their concentration in the franchise league prior to the announcement of the World Cup roster.
“We are incredibly proud of the athletes who have succeeded. They have put in a lot of effort. I can see where their thoughts would have been prior to the official announcement. Players should be commended greatly for their efforts in blocking out all of that and having a strong IPL season.
