Team India's wait for an elusive ICC trophy became distant after shocking exit from the semi-final stage of the T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia. England handed a 10-wicket defeat to India in the second semi-final of this year's tournament to end Men in Blue's campaign on a sour note. India will now look to revamp their T20I side in preparation for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024 with a host of senior players expected to hang their boots in the shortest format of the game.
In this article, we will analyse how India's line-up could look like going into the T20 World Cup 2024, which is scheduled to be held in the West Indies and the United States.

India's predicted line-up for T20 World Cup 2024
All-rounder Hardik Pandya is expected to lead the side in the upcoming edition of the marquee ICC event with Rishabh Pant as his deputy. Senior players such as Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Mohammed Shami, who were all part of this year's World Cup, are likely to be left out of the squad for the next edition of the competition.
Young players including the likes of Prithvi Shaw, Ishan Kishan, Sanju Samson, and Washington Sundar are anticipated to get a nod for T20 World Cup 2024. Suryakumar Yadav and Arshdeep Singh, who performed well in this year's World Cup, are likely to be retained. Ravindra Jadeja and Jasprit Bumrah, who missed out on this year's tournament due to injury concerns, are expected to be included in the squad for the 2024 edition.
