India have selected a new look squad for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. They are coming after an intense IPL 2024 season and will have to regroup and gel together in limited time ahead of the start of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. There are some tactical sides of the team they will want to look at before they face Ireland on June 5. Going ahead in the tournament, it will be very important that they acclimatize well according to the changed time zones and perform accordingly. Ahead of the IND vs BAN ICC T20 World Cup 2024, these are the five key points fans will want to look forward to in India's preparation.

1. India's Opening Pair: The partner of captain Rohit Sharma at the top of the order of Indian Cricket Team is yet undecided. Yashasvi Jaiswal has been in red-hot form for the last few months and has a strong claim for the spot, but Virat Kohli has won the orange cap in the IPL 2024 opening the batting for RCB. Fans will want to see who the opening partner of Rohit Sharma will be between Yashasvi and Virat ahead of India's opening game.

2. Wicketkeeper: Rishabh Pant has finally made a comeback in the Indian Cricket Team squad after more than a year. Sanju Samson, who missed the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 is also back in the squad. Although it is still undecided which one of the two will don the keeping gloves in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Both offer different skills on the table and have runs in the IPL 2024 to back themselves. Fans will want to look forward to their performance and who makes a bigger claim to confirm a place in the playing XI.

3. Spin Twins: Since the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav have not featured in an mega event for India together. Finally both are selected in the squad and given the conditions in West Indies and with two seam-bowling all-rounders in the squad (Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube), there will be temptations to unleash the duo together on the opposition. Fans will be waiting to watch them together and will also look forward for hints of Kul-Cha starting together.

4. Shivam Dube's Role: When Shivam Dube was preferred in India's squad over the likes of Rinku Singh, fans anticipated that India will have a special plan around him in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Shivam Dube if used well can turn out to be a key weapon disrupting opposition plans. Fans will look forward to see how Indian think tank assigns a role to him in the build up to the competition.

5. Form of the All-Rounders: In the build-up of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, the major concern for the fans was Ravindra Jadeja and Hardik Pandya not being impactful enough in the IPL 2024. Both hold a key position in the Indian Cricket Team and their form can decide whether India makes a deep run in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. The eyes of the fans will be yet again on them in the IND vs BAN ICC T20 World Cup 2024 Warm-up Game. ICC T20 World Cup 2024: Rohit Sharma, Najmul Hossain Shanto Stroll Through New York’s Nassau County International Cricket Stadium Before IND vs BAN Practice Match.

India will look to tick all boxes in terms of preparation in the Warm-up game against Bangladesh. It is also an opportunity in front of the players to show their skills and make a bigger claim for the spots that are yet to be decided on.  Combinations have been India's Achilles heel for a long time and they would not want the same to happen yet again in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.
