Team India is gearing up for the T20 World Cup which is slated to start from October 16 in Australia.
India's squad has been announced for the T20 World Cup as fans' eyes will be hooked on their star players including Hardik Pandya.
Hardik Pandya is regarded as the best finisher of the game since the IPL 2022 season. But Kohli's finishing ability can't be challenged too if one goes by the stats.
