Former India captain Anjum Chopra gives advice on India’s squad selection ahead of the 2026 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. In her comments, Chopra says that both Kranti Gaud and Renuka Singh Thakur should be included in the starting playing XI rather than picking one over the other. She adds that Arundhati Reddy should be part of the same XI alongside them. Both outlets that cover the story present the same core message: Chopra supports a starting combination that includes Gaud and Thakur together, with Arundhati Reddy in the team. The reporting frames the remarks as selection guidance for India’s XI for the upcoming T20 World Cup, rather than as a statement of final team confirmation. No additional team lineup details, match circumstances, or tactical reasoning beyond the call to “both should start” are provided in the supplied summaries.
