Kuldeep and Samson are likely to feature in the line up

The Indian Express analyses the potential changes that Team India could make for their upcoming match against the United States at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York during the T20 World Cup 2024.

In the T20 World Cup 2024 Group A match, Rohit Sharma's Team India will be looking to secure their spot in the Super 8 stage when they face off against the United States at the Nassau County Cricket Stadium. With two wins under their belt on a challenging pitch in New York, India aims to address any weaknesses before their next game in Florida and subsequently against West Indies.

After a stunning comeback victory against Pakistan, Team India has some concerns to address before entering the Super 8 stage. The Indian Express has a closer look at the possible line-up changes that India may implement for their match against the USA.

Shivam Dube's performance in the T20 World Cup has been disappointing, with his batting skills diminishing since his inclusion in the tournament. In addition, his bowling has not been utilised by captain Rohit Sharma, and a crucial dropped catch against Pakistan further highlighted his struggles. Considering his lacklustre performance on bouncy tracks, India may replace Dube with Sanju Samson for the clash against the United States.

Ravindra Jadeja's form with both bat and ball has been deteriorating in limited-overs cricket, as seen in his recent duck against Pakistan. With Axar Patel stepping up to take crucial overs, Jadeja's role in the team has come under scrutiny. This situation might pave the way for Kuldeep Yadav's inclusion in the playing XI, as India evaluates their team composition for the upcoming matches in the Caribbean.

With a morale-boosting Super Over win over Pakistan, Monank Patel’s side is unlikely to tinker with the XI too much for the upcoming contest.

India Predicted XI:

India predicted XI: Rohit Sharma (c), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj

USA Predicted XI:

Steven Taylor, Monank Patel (c & wk), Andries Gous, Aaron Jones, Nitish Kumar, Corey Anderson, Harmeet Singh, Jasdeep Singh, Nosthush Kenjige, Saurabh Netravalkar, Ali Khan
