The T20 World Cup 2021 is just around the corner and every team is looking for a fine balance in their squad. Cricket experts and pundits are electing their preferred squads and naming players who can provide x-factor to their respective teams. Harsha Bhogle is the latest to pick his Indian squad for the upcoming tournament.
India have a large pool of players to choose from and that has become a sweet headache for the selectors. While several players have already consolidated their place in the team, few places are still up for grabs and multiple players are making their case for them.

Suryakumar Yadav has arrived in international cricket in some fine fashion and has forced everyone to take a look at him. Other than him, there are enough spinners to select from but it will be interesting to see who gets the nod ahead of whom.
Meanwhile, Harsha Bhogle picked his squad for the tournament on Cricbuzz. He kept Shikhar Dhawan out of the squad and Kuldeep Yadav also couldn’t find a place either. In middle-order, he picked Suryakumar Yadav while he feels either Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer will get selected in the team.
