Virat Kohli to anchor middle order

The middle order is anchored by none other than the indomitable Virat Kohli, whose sheer consistency and insatiable hunger for runs make him a perennial threat to opposition bowlers. Alongside him stand the likes of Suryakumar Yadav, Riyan Parag, and Rinku Singh, each capable of turning the tide of a match with their explosive stroke play and impeccable timing.

Veteran wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik brings a wealth of experience to the squad, providing stability in the middle order and invaluable leadership behind the stumps. His composure under pressure and ability to finish games with panache make him a vital cog in India’s T20 setup.
