In the bowling department, selectors included the likes of Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, and Kuldeep Yadav as the three spinners. After the squad’s announcement, Dhanashree Verma shared an Instagram story questioning the importance of being extroverted to ensure being successful in one’s field. Further, she posted another story and expressed gratitude towards living a fruitful life.
Verma’s Instagram story said, “Now I have started to question this on a serious note. If being super submissive & introverted can be harmful for your work growth? Or do we all have to be an extrovert & street smart savvy to grow in life?"
In the other story she mentioned: “In the end, it is between you and your god. And fortunately, the world is with you. Thankful, God is great.” Check out her post here:

Addressing Chahal’s omission, Ajit Agarkar talked about how Axar Patel’s batting ability and Kuldeep Yadav’s current form led to their selection over the leg spinner. “Axar Patel has done really well. He can bat too. Kuldeep Yadav has had a fantastic run to this point. So someone had to miss out. Kuldeep is currently a little ahead of him (Chahal),” Agarkar said in the press conference.

Rohit Sharma (Captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, KL Rahul, Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya (VC), Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. Shami, Mohd. Siraj, Prasidh Krishna.
