During the IPL season last year, Rohit Sharma set the standard for success in T20 cricket by emphasizing the need to take the game to a "different level."

"In my opinion, an anchor has no purpose anymore. Unless you are 20/3 or 20/4, which won't happen every day, that's just how T20 cricket is played these days. If you don't change your mindset, you will lose badly, Rohit stated.

The recently finished Twenty20 International series against Australia is a perfect example of Rohit's bold and fearless brand of cricket. A young, energetic team has created an exciting brand that is anticipated to yield the desired outcomes, throwing caution to the wind.

Gaikwad Ruturaj.

The low strike rate of India's hitters was one common conclusion drawn from their defeat in the previous T20 World Cup semi-final. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were benched because they lacked sufficient bravery.

However, Rohit is now back in the mix for the upcoming T20 World Cup in June thanks to his impressive batting during the ODI World Cup Powerplay. The national selectors believe that his bold stroke play and wise leadership can lead this team to new heights.

Singh Rinku.

The 50-over final loss to Australia left deep wounds that are still visible. The kids' performance suffered from their inability to get over their stage anxiety in a high-stakes environment. In addition to Hardik Pandya, Rohit's presence is anticipated to offer stability and experience.

The competition will be more intense because of the way players like Ishan Kishan, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Ruturaj Gaikwad batted in the five-match T20I series against Australia.

Patel Axar.

Rinku Singh's ascent to prominence as a finisher has all but guaranteed his spot in the West Indies and US-bound team.

The KKR hitter's prolific batting is a result of his rapid read-the-situation ability and mental clarity. It makes sense that he ended up winning at least two of India's four matches.

This also holds true for Ruturaj. After losing the opening game, he rebounded brilliantly to score 223 runs, including a century.

Ruturaj was one of five batters who concluded the series with a strike-rate of 150 or higher, demonstrating the team's valiant batting.

There will be more competition for the top spot, with Rohit, Ruturaj, Jaiswal, Ishan Kishan, and Shubman Gill vying for

four places. Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav will come next, which will make

The batting unit was unstoppable and blazing.

Bishnoi Ravi.

You also can't ignore the bowling. When he successfully defended 10 runs in the final over on Sunday in Bangalore, Arshdeep Singh demonstrated his maturity. However, Axar Patel and Ravi Bishnoi's spin combination made it challenging to score runs in the middle overs.

Tim David and Matthew Short were forced to take unnecessary risks because he suppressed them during a crucial part of the Australian pursuit. With his accuracy and pace changes, the left-arm spinner kept the batters in check during the Powerplay, ending with an economy of 6.20.

Although Axar's exclusion from the South African T20 squad is regrettable, the team will still use him in their plans.

Bishnoi has performed just as well. India cannot afford to make the same mistakes again this time around because they lost out on a few opportunities by not using a wrist spinner in Australia. With his turn and drift, he can make waves at any moment and ended the series as the highest wicket-taker with nine.

Selectors don't have to do a lot of experimenting. They can only hope to meet the expectations if they remain true to the core of this group. Under the given circumstances, reaching Rohit's concept of a “different level” won't be a difficult task.
