Team India’s T20 World Cup Squad:
After ending the ODI World Cup 2023 on a heartbreaking note, Team India is all set to take on the challenges in the T20 World Cup. As they announced the squad, Rohit Sharma is once again ready to lead the team in the tournament. After exiting the previous edition of the tournament in the semifinal stage, they are all boosted up to take on the upcoming challenges as their squad is powerful.
Along with Rohit Sharma, some senior players like Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, and Ravindra Jadeja have been named in the squad. Young talents like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shivam Dube, Kuldeep Yadav, and Rishabh Pant have been named in the squad. The West Indies and the USA are all set to arrange the tournament. Team India will fly right after the IPL 2024.
Before stepping into the big tournament, all the teams are preparing hard. Currently, the IPL 2024 is going on. Along with the Indian players, foreign players are also taking part in this tournament. That platform has become a great stage to rehash before the T20 World Cup.
Robin Uthappa’s View on India’s Squad:
During the pre-match show for the IPL 2024, former India batter Robin Uthappa discussed the topic. Kiwi ex-cricketer Scott Styris inquired if present Indian senior players in the T20I side should take a similar step after the upcoming T20 World Cup. being on the same page with the Kiwi cricketer, Uthappa said, “I’m gonna catch a lot of flak for this, but I’ll take it. I think they should’ve moved on after the previous World Cup itself.”
Later he added, “I think the youngsters should’ve played in this World Cup. The senior players have had their go, and these guys are showing true potential. The fact that they’ve been performing in IPL consistently… a lot of these guys who are performing now, the likes of Shubman Gill should be there.”
The Former Indian Batter on Gill:
Shubman Gill, the talented Indian opener, was not selected in the 15-member squad for the World Cup. Equally surprising was the exclusion of Rinku Singh, who had been a regular in T20I matches over the past year. Both have been named as the reserve player. In the last ODI World Cup, Gill was in amazing form. He has shown his consistency. Even in the ongoing IPL, he has scored an amazing century. Butt still he missed the spot in the main squad of the T20 World Cup.
While talking about this, he said, “He (Gill) should be part of any World Cup right now. The potential, the ability, the hunger he has got in his own game and what he wants to achieve is tremendous. The opportunity for all of that should be present. They should get the opportunity at the highest stage, like the World Cup.”
