Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya, and Rinku Singh add all-round depth and finishing ability.
In the bowling department, India boast a world-class attack featuring Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakaravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, offering both lethal pace and high-quality spin options perfectly suited to home conditions.

The Wankhede Stadium pitch in Mumbai typically offers good pace and bounce early on, assisting fast bowlers with some seam movement, while spinners get significant grip and turn as the match progresses on a dry surface. In evening games under lights, dew often plays a major role in the second innings, making chasing significantly easier and favoring the team batting second. Batters can play freely once set, and a first-innings total of around 170–195 is generally considered competitive at this venue in T20Is.
Expert Prediction: India have 82% chance and United States have 18% winning chance.
