India won their first four games in the T20 World Cup 2026 before losing to South Africa in the Super 8. However, on Thursday, February 26, the Men in Blue returned to winning ways as they defeated Zimbabwe at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
The win against Zimbabwe has given the Indian team some fresh oxygen, as fans had been irate over their lacklustre performance against the Proteas and flooded social media with criticism. While India need to beat the West Indies on Sunday, March 1, to make it to the semi-final, let’s take a look at three players who could make it to the squad after the marquee event.
3 Indian players who should be picked after T20 World Cup
3. Harshit Rana

Harshit Rana was named in India’s initial squad for the ongoing T20 World Cup. However, just prior to the commencement of the marquee event, the Delhi speedster was ruled out due to injury. Rana can not only bowl at speeds of over 140 kph consistently, but also contribute important runs in the lower order.
Rana has undergone successful knee surgery and will be focusing on rehabilitation for now. Once he attains full fitness, expect the Kolkata Knight Riders’ star to return to the Indian setup.
