India takes on the United States in match 25 of the T20 World Cup 2024 in New York on Wednesday, June 12. This is India’s third consecutive match in New York. This is also his first T20I international match against USA.
After back-to-back wins against Ireland and Pakistan, India would like to confirm their Super 8 spot with a win over the United States. The minnows have certainly made a statement with a win over Pakistan and are now setting their sights on India.
India defended 120, which is the lowest total they have successfully defended in men’s T20Is. The victory took them to the top of the Group A points table.
Rohit Sharma is keen to win this World T20 after the heartbreaking defeat in the final. He came in with a good combination of all-rounders along with batsmen and had batting depth up to eight. Also in this match they could end up with the same combination.

The reason why India would like to improve their batting line-up is because the New York Stadium pitch has shown constant variable bounce. The batsmen could hit one for two and in case India lose wickets early, they want to have the cushion of their batting depth to score at least 160.
The average first innings score at this venue has not even been 150 so far in this tournament and players like Rohit and Virat will lie to get some runs.
India Playing 11 vs USA – ICC T20 World Cup 2024, Match 25
Rohit Sharma(C)
Rohit will open the batting for India. He has been India’s trusted opener for over a decade in white-ball formats. He scored an unbeaten half-century against Ireland. Against Pakistan he scored 12.
Virat Kohli
There has been a lot of talk about Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma opening the batting and it finally happened in this tournament. He has so far had two low scoring knocks and only scored 4 against Pakistan.
Rishabh Pant (WK)
Pant will bat at three. He was picked ahead of Sanju Samson as wicketkeeper-batsman and started with a score of over fifty in the warm-up against Bangladesh and then 36* against Ireland. He scored a crucial 42 points against Pakistan which took Idnia’s total to 119.
Suryakumar Yadav
SKY will be located at four. He is the number one ranked T20I batsman and is already playing in his third T20 World Cup. SKY will be crucial at four. He is among the best run-getters in T20I cricket for India but scored just seven against Pakistan.
Hardik Pandya
Pandy can come in at five. She now bowls too, giving India the right balance in this World Cup. He is one of the three probable all-rounders in the XI.
Shivam Dubey
Dube will come in at six. He is considered a finisher for India. He has been playing the same role for CSK and is included thanks to his six-hitting ability. He was out of danger against Pakistan.
Ravindra Jadeja
Jadeja will occupy the seventh position and will be the third all-rounder in the XI. He is also known for doing important cameos for India. He is always good with the ball. Unfortunately, he too ran out of luck against Pakistan.
Axar Patel
Patel will come in at number eight and is another all-rounder in the side. He and Jadeja will be the two players in the team. Axar Patel can be equally good with bat and ball. He scored 20 with the bat and took the key wicket of Usman Khan with the ball.
jasprit bumrah
Bumrah will lead the attack. He had a good IPL season for Mumbai Indians with 20 wickets and also started the World Cup on a good note. He had a good match against Pakistan where he was Man of the Match with 3/14.
Mohammed Siraj
Siraj will be the second seamer in the XI. He didn’t have a good season in IPL, but performed reasonably well with the ball for India. He bowled a none for 19 against Pakistan.
Arshdeep Singh
Arshdeep concludes the probable playing XI for India. His left-arm option gives the bowling attack much-needed variation. He also gets the new ball to close and swing. He took the wicket of Imad Wasim in the match against Pakistan.
