India has had a tremendous stint in the 2024 T20 World Cup. The team were up against some formidable and underdogs during the Group Stage & Super-8, which led them to succeed in reaching the tournament’s semi-final stage. As many fanatics can infer, the Indian side has had a not-so-good affair in the final stages of their ICC tournament run with a win for a long time.

But, with the exceptional performances from each department, the team will be able to end it on a high note and win their second-ever T20 World Cup title. In the league’s second semi-final, they will be up against the defending champions, England. England obtained a comprehensive win against them from their previous edition semi-final encounter, which makes the Men in Blue eager to turn the tables on the 27th of this month. So, here is a glimpse of the three players to check out for from the Indian side and their strongest Probable XI for their fifth T20 WC semi-final, against England.

1. Rohit Sharma (Captain)

2. Virat Kohli

3. Rishabh Pant (Wicketkeeper)

4. Suryakumar Yadav

5. Shivam Dube

6. Hardik Pandya

7. Axar Patel

8. Kuldeep Yadav

9. Yuzvedra Chahal

10. Arshdeep Singh

11. Jasprit Bumrah

Top three key players to checkout from India:

Arshdeep Singh

Arshdeep Singh has been the significant and intriguing highlight coming out of the quality Indian pace attack. Including Jasprit Bumrah’s consistent performance, Arshdeep Singh acts as the icing on the cake for the team’s bowling department. He has been a consistent crucial wicket-taker with varied conditions and is eager to maintain the same calibre in their semi-final clash against England. In his 2024 T20 World Cup run, he has taken 15 wickets in six matches at an economy of 7.41, making him the team’s highest wicket-taker.

Kuldeep Yadav

Kuldeep Yadav indeed deserves to be on the list of key players from the Indian side. The pitch was a suitable spinners paradise, with the match happening at Providence Stadium, Guyana. By this, with the likes of Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja and Yuzvendra Chahal, the team can fully utilise Kuldeep Yadav’s leg-spin abilities, especially seeing his form in the recent tournament matchups. He has scalped seven wickets in his short three-match stint at a commendable economy of 6.25.

Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma returned to his vintage “Hitman” form during their last Super-8 stage match against Australia. His swashbuckling batting display of 92 runs off 41 balls has helped the team cement a position in the semi-final. Having a selfless and team-oriented attitude, the captain has been a shuttlepad to India’s attacking batting approach. This was seen evidently in the ongoing tournament matchups. With two valuable half-century knocks, he has made 191 runs in six innings, at a colossal strike rate of over 160 and an average of 38.
