De Villiers Calls Siraj 'Unlucky' for T20 World Cup Snub, Cites Team Balance

  • AB de Villiers termed Mohammed Siraj "unlucky" to miss India's T20 World Cup squad.
  • De Villiers, former RCB teammate, believes the decision was due to team balance, favoring all-rounders like Harshit Rana.
  • India's bowling attack is well-covered with Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, and Harshit Rana as pacers.
  • Spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakravarthy are key, with Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube offering part-time options.
  • De Villiers asserts India has "all the bases covered" for the T20 World Cup, despite Siraj's exclusion.

Why It Matters: Siraj's T20 World Cup exclusion is due to team balance, but India's bowling depth is strong.
