World T20: Predicted Indian XI against New Zealand

After India’s spectacular performance in Asia Cup T20 2016, now India will be up against New Zealand in their first match of ICC T20 World Cup 2016 which will be played at Nagpur. India have played 11 matches in 2016 and won 10 matches and one of the main reasons of these wins is India’s settled playing XI. India have found a solid opening pair along with that a reliable middle order and useful lower order and most importantly good pacers and spinners. India have also now tested their bench strength in Asia Cup 2016 match against U.A.E. and in warm up matches against West Indies and South Africa and it seems they all are fit and ready to go and that we can sense from Mohammad Shami’s return in Indian squad. He picked up 4 wickets from two warmup matches and it will raise questions in Indian captain’s mind whether to include him or not as here Cric Tracker presents likely Indian XI for 1^st match against New Zealand in T20 World Cup 2016.

1. Rohit Sharma

India is lucky to have a player like Rohit Sharma in their team as his records suggest us that he will be a big threat to all opponents in this year’s World T20 and he has been in supreme touch this year as he has made 337 runs from 11 T20I matches. He also holds the record for most runs by an Indian player in ICC World T20. He would like to continue his form in this year’s World T20. He is a player who can play 20 overs and if he will be able to do that then India have an every chance to beat New Zealand in the 1^st T20I match of T20 World Cup 2016.
