India begins T20 World Cup against USA amid concerns over Harshit Rana's status

India's T20 World Cup 2026 campaign kicks off against the USA with several key discussions ahead of the match. Captain Suryakumar Yadav addressed concerns regarding Harshit Rana's potential exclusion from the squad. If ruled out, a fast bowler replacement like Mohammed Siraj is expected. The team is also considering wicketkeeper options between Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan, who has impressed recently. The batting lineup appears largely fixed, with some flexibility in the middle order. The players are aware of the extra pressure of playing at home but remain excited.
