Shafali's blitz at the top of the order will play a key role in India's quest for the title.

3. Harmanpreet Kaur

The captain of the ship Harmanpreet Kaur is in the lead role coupling with her batting, bowling & also leading the side along with it. Kaur as a captain has reached the knockouts of the T20 World Cups twice (2020 Finals & 2023 Semi-Finals) apart from this she also led the side to the silver medal in the finals of the Commonwealth Games in 2022.

5. Deepti Sharma

The Wily Off-Spinner and a decent batter lower down the order Deepti Sharma is another vital cog for Team India in their quest to clinch their maiden T20 World Cup title.
