Virender Sehwag names his most powerful India XI for T20 World Cup with no Hardik Pandya.

Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag recently named his strongest India XI for the T20 World Cup. The ICC has set May 1 as the deadline for squad submission for the participating teams. Sehwag’s selection has raised doubts over Hardik Pandya’s inclusion due to his poor run of form, suggesting that the all-rounder should be part of the 15-man squad but not in the strongest XI.

Meanwhile, wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant had been sidelined since December 2022 due to injuries sustained in a life-threatening car crash. Pant’s absence has led to uncertainties about his readiness for the upcoming tournament. Sehwag’s decisions have sparked discussions about the composition of the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup, prompting fans and analysts to analyze the implications and potential impact on the team’s performance.
