Ramandeep may get a chance to play
T20 World Cup winner Hardik Pandya will be captain Suryakumar Yadav’s most experienced fast bowler in the 15-member squad. In the absence of Dubey, Ramandeep Singh can be given a chance in the middle order. He is an expert in giving big hits. Apart from captain Suryakumar, Tilak Verma and Rinku Singh will be the main batsmen in the middle order. Ramandeep Singh played an important role in Kolkata Knight Riders’ victory in IPL 2024 with his brilliant late knock. Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson are likely to open the innings. Axar Patel, Varun Chakraborty and Ravi Bishnoi are the team’s three main spinners, while Jitesh Sharma will be the backup wicketkeeper to Sanju Samson.
