Delhi: India has selected a strong team of 15 members for the 2025 World Cup for the 2025 World Cup starting on 30 September with Harmanpreet Kaur (who will captain India in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup for the first time) and Smriti Mandhana (vice -captainment). Complete team: Harmanpreet Kaur (Captain), Smriti Mandhana (Vice-Qetan), Pratika Rawal, Harleen Deol, Jemima Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh, Yastika Bhatia, Renuka Singh Thakur, Deepti Sharma, Sneh Rana, Shri Charani, Radha Yadav, Amanjot Kaur, Arundhati Reddy, Kranti Gaur.

Reserve: Tejal Hasbnis, Prema Rawat, Priya Mishra, Uma Chhetri, Minnu Mani, Sayali Satghre

India’s team will start their match against Sri Lanka on the first day of the tournament.

5 special things of the Indian team:

New Star:

Pratika Rawal, who scored 703 runs in just 14 matches with his debut in December last year and Kranti Gaur, who won the series in the third ODI on England, will play her first World Cup. After the exit of Shaifali Verma from the ODI team, India made unsuccessful experiments to make Priya Punia and Richa Ghosh an opener and then tried Rawal, an almost unknown copy. Since then, this Delhi batsman has confirmed his place. In the last ODI in England, the team with four frontline spinners was the only fast bowler Kranti Gaur and took 6 wickets (the second best performance from India in this format). Arundhati Reddy is the fourth medium pace in this World Cup 15 and Talent got a place in the World Cup team.

Trust on batting:

In the presence of Smriti Mandhana, Rawal and Deol, the top order is strong, while Rodrix, Harman, Ghosh and Amanjot are showing strength in the middle order and that India’s team is showing strength in batting. Especially on the bat of captain Harmanpreet, who will play her 5th ODI World Cup, but the first as captain.

Star missing:

Shefali Verma was part of the T20 team in England but still out of ODI and still out. There is a dispute over this decision, but the team management chose Rawal and Deol for the first time for the World Cup due to the last great performance. If you choose Shefali, the coordination made of the team would have deteriorated. Apart from this, the team elected four all -rounders who can also throw 10 overs. There was no place to bring anyone else in batting.

Focus on captain captain Harmanpreet:

Since the 2022 World Cup in New Zealand, there have been 19 debuts in ODIs for India, 17 bowlers/all-rounder-gentors. Now in the World Cup, Harmanpreet (36) has got a balanced and desired team, which is promising to give 100 percent. It is very possible that this is the last 50 over World Cup for them. Harman, who came in international cricket in 2009, has a record of playing one of the best innings in World Cup history and his 171* changed the face of women’s cricket in India. He has played the World T20 final in Melbourne in 2020 and is now the turn of the World Cup.

Rawal-Smriti Opening Partnership:

Rawal’s ODI record has added 703 runs (one century and five half -centuries) at an impressive average of 54.07 and 1086 runs in the first wicket partnership with Smriti Mandhana, including a 233 -run partnership against Ireland. Special thing: In 10 of the 14 innings, the pair have made 50 while the average is more than 77. This attractive record also stopped selector from the greed to recall Shefali. Every team is discussing this pair.
