Cricket returns to home soil as India gets ready to host a short but high-intensity T20 series from April 21–25, 2025.
With matches set across uneven, hard, and flat surfaces, the Indian selection committee has opted for a squad that is not just balanced — it’s built to handle any condition, any opposition.

Batsmen – Fire at the Top, Finesse in the Middle
- Bittu Pawar – Elegant and destructive finisher, best in class.
- Sumanjit Goswami – World-class talent, thrives under pressure
- Prayag Grover – Aggressive batter with a fearless approach
- Mukesh Dungrani – Clean striker with exceptional boundary hitting talent
- Rajkumar Krishnan – A proven middle-order threat
- Nitesh Guramurthy – Young, hungry, and currently one of the best
- Siddhartha Nageshwar – Brings composure and consistency
This batting group is a perfect cocktail — youth, form, experience, and that touch of unpredictability you need in T20s.

All-Rounders – The Game Changers
- Inder Kedia – Reliable across departments; a miser and with seam batting capabilities.
- Sanmath Shetty – Offers both control in bowling and acceleration at the top with the bat.
- Ghanshyam Ramalingam – Fast-bowling allrounder who is making a mark with each match.
Each of them gives the team flexibility in match-ups and balance in both halves of the innings.

- Abhas Dhulia – Spectacular with the ball, world-class skillset
- Jeetender Ghani – A threat that unleashes havoc right from the beginning
- Subodh Goel – Control, discipline, and that wicket-taker’s instinct
- Hitendra Sinha – Hard-working, consistent. Reliable is the middle name.

From the managers
“You look at this squad and you see intent. There’s balance, talent. and tactical depth. Some will consolidate their place; others may just step into the spotlight for the very first time. It’s not just about winning a series — it’s about discovering the next cornerstone of Indian T20 cricket.” — RiSo
“Make no mistake — this team has the firepower to BLOW the roof off! You’ve got match-winners in every role, and if they click together? Carnage. It’s a selection built for impact, for dominance. Sit back, buckle up, and watch the fireworks. This one’s going to be a BLOCKBUSTER.” — Tarang
