Picking the T20 team based upon ODI form & stat is crappy decision,hence my Indian T20 XI will be as follows,if we play in India & for WT20 next year.

Robin Uthappa
Rohit Sharma/Ajinkya Rahane
Suresh Raina (if needed)
Virat Kohli
Manish Pandey/Sanju Samson
MS Dhoni
Yusuf Pathan
Ravichandran Ashwin
Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Mohit Sharma
Ashish Nehra

Batting order can be changed based upon the match situation.

I think Shami is better option instead of Bhuvi because nowadays Bhuvi seems to have lost his swing because he is concentrating more on his pace rather than his swing

I found this vid out of nowhere. Its Indian Cricket Stars vs Bollywood Stars football from 2013. When the fk did that happen. It has Dhoni, Kohli, Ishant in goal [], and Ranbir, Abhishek Bachhan to name a few on the Bollywood team. When the fk did this game happen?

The other parts are there on youtube if anyone wants to watch the whole thing.

Looks like Swirler doesn't like Mayanti Langer either

Anyways, coming back to the topic, found a really good article on Cricinfo about India's 5 bowler strategy by Monga.

Also found an article on selection committee changing soon and hopefully this means, we are getting rid of Binny from all the formats as well.

They will revoke it because the CARICOM sub comittee for cricket have recently indicated a proposed dissolution of the WICB, so BCCI working in cahoots will prevent this!

Despite being in the test squad,as Rohit and Bhuvi couldn't make it to the XI they decided to spent their time playing for their Ranji teams and they played well too

Seems like a good bowler but still in an early stage in his career.

Roger Binny and Ravi Shastri have been sacked by BCCI after the Annual General Meeting

Do you guys think Yusuf Pathan should be included back to T20 squad? India is nowhere close in winning T20 cup with the current team.
India definitely lacks a big hitter who can hit from first ball itself. He had a good IPL season. He is a handy bowler too. India should start picking squads according to the particular formats. For example, if Rahane doesn't open in T20, he is not very useful in any other positions. And Ambati Rayudu shouldn't be picked at all. They need to pick squads wisely.
