Smriti Mandhana: India’s leading run-getter in T20Is since the previous ICC Women’s T20 World Cup and second overall, Smriti Mandhana holds the crucial role of setting the tone. Her ability to dominate the Powerplay will be vital in shaping India's fortunes in the World Cup.

Shafali Verma: Shafali Verma is the most explosive batter in this Indian team. Shafali Verma has a T20I career strike rate of 135, and as high as 159 in the last 18 months since the last ICC Women’s T20 World Cup

Jemimah Rodrigues: The star of India’s spectacular 2025 ODI World Cup semi-final triumph against Australia, Jemimah Rodrigues anchors the middle overs with precision. Highly skilled at dominating both spinners and fast bowlers, she brings valuable experience from her extensive stints in English domestic and international cricket.

Harmanpreet Kaur: Harmanpreet Kaur’s ability and temperament to hit big shots under pressure will make her the most feared batter among opposition bowlers this tournament. She stands in an elite bracket as one of just three women in the world to cross the 4,000 run milestone in T20Is.

Richa Ghosh: Striking at 163, Richa Ghosh has the highest strike rate in the world for any batter scoring 350-plus runs in T20Is since the last ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. She provides India with unmatched firepower and a lethal finishing touch at the death.
