Team India at T20 World Cup 2022: Squad, schedule, timings - Everything you need to know

India left for Australia early this month for the upcoming T20 World Cup. Rohit Sharma & Co. have had a stellar run in the shortest format in this year and, hence, are one of the title contenders for the marquee edition DownUnder. In the last edition, held in 2021 in the UAE, India faltered under pressure and failed to get past the Super 12 round after back-to-back losses in their opening two games, versus Pakistan and New Zealand, respectively.

Thus, India will be keen to turn the tides this time around. They have a strong squad -- compromising Rohit, vice-captain KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, in-form Suryakumar Yadav, Bhuvnneshwar Kumar, Hardik Pandya, etc. -- and will be desperate to click from the word go. So far, India have won the T20 WC title only once, during the 2007 edition under MS Dhoni, and since then, they managed to reach the top four only twice (with them ending as runners-up in 2014). Will India return with the elusive title? Only time will tell...

India's complete squad for T20 World Cup in Australia:

Rohit Sharma (c), KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Deepak Hooda, Rishabh Pant, Dinesh Karthik, Hardik Pandya, R Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, Axar Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Harshal Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Md Shami

Reserves: Md Siraj, Shardul Thakur, Shreyas Iyer, Ravi Bishnoi
