They enjoyed themselves, but the game was not ideal. We have a terrible record against India in competitive games.

Team India Squad Announcement for the Upcoming T20 Tour

As the countdown to the highly anticipated T20 tour begins, I am thrilled to announce the squad that will take the field in the upcoming series. It’s a squad that’s got the right mix of skill, talent and flair—perfectly suited for the fast-paced T20 format.

Here’s your Team India for the T20 tour:

Tess T Culls (Batsman)
Kishan Gorawala (Batsman)
Zakirhusain Sarwate (Wicketkeeper)
Tarul Thadigiri (Batsman)
Mukesh Dungrani (Batsman)
Raghvendra Gujarati (Batsman)
Sukhdev Hazare (Batsman)
Bittu Pawar (Batsman)
Ankush Upadhay (Wicketkeeper)
Sanmath Shetty (Allrounder)
Inder Kedia (Allrounder)
Mahendra Chadda (Bowler)
Kapilraj Iyer (Bowler)
Franz Beckenbauer (Bowler)
Jagdish Ranganathan (Bowler)
Amit Visvanathan (Bowler)
Harishankar Moidu (Bowler)
Sendeem Walkin (Bowler)


What Makes This Squad Special:

Let me tell you, this squad is ready to fire on all cylinders! Tess T Culls, a batsman with the ability to turn a game on its head, and Kishan Gorawala, a solid hitter with a keen eye, are going to lay the foundation. Zakirhusain Sarwate behind the stumps and with the bat, alongside Ankush Upadhay, who’s a real asset in the wicketkeeping department, adds real depth.

We’ve got some exceptional talent in the middle order with the likes of Tarul Thadigiri, Mukesh Dungrani, and Raghvendra Gujarati—batsmen who can take the game away in the blink of an eye. And don’t forget Sukhdev Hazare and Bittu Pawar—two men who can make the bat talk with their shots.

Now, let’s talk about the bowlers! Mahendra Chadda, Amit Visvanathan and Harishankar Moidu lead the pace attack. These lads are world-class—powerful, precise, and capable of taking wickets when it matters most. Along with the deadly spinners like Sendeem Walkin and Kapilraj Iyer, we've got the perfect bowling balance to keep any opposition under control.

The allrounders, Sanmath Shetty and Inder Kedia, bring that extra edge. They are game-changers—capable of turning a match on its head with both bat and ball.

CoachendraSinh Coachala
, the Head Coach of Team India, had this to say about the squad[/b]
“This is a squad that can go out and compete with the best in the world. Our batsmen can smash it to all corners of the park, and our bowlers will ensure the opposition feels the heat every step of the way. It’s all about intensity and attitude. The boys are charged up, and we’re all set to show what Team India is made of.”


The upcoming T20 tour promises to be an exciting one, and with a squad like this, you can expect nothing less than thrilling cricket. So, buckle up, cricket fans—Team India is ready to take on the world!

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.

---

🔥 Bowlers – Fast, Fearless, and Fine-Tuned

- Franz Beckenbauer – Sharp and hostile; thrives on uneven tracks
- 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.
- Amit Visvanathan – Left-arm magician, with pinpoint accuracy

This pace-heavy attack is no accident — it's tailored for the surfaces and the demands of modern T20.

---

🧤 Wicketkeepers – Class Behind and In Front of the Stumps

- Kamlesh Sutariya – Elite keeper and dangerous with the bat
- Zakirhusain Sarwate – World-class reflexes and a calm head in batting.

Between them, India has two of the most complete wicketkeepers in the format today.

🧠 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
