T20 World Cup 2024: The rush of IPL is over.. In a few days the T20 World Cup is going to start in America and West Indies.. Already a team of the Indian team has left for America. Practicing hard there.. Not only India but other teams also went to America. They are practicing there.. The Indian team lost to Australia in the final match of the ODI World Cup held last year. India lost to England in the T20 World Cup semifinal match earlier. In this background, India is entering the ring as a hot favorite in the upcoming T20 World Cup. One of the reasons for this is that the Indian team is number one in the T20 world rankings.
BCCI has recently released an announcement regarding the team that will participate in the T20 World Cup. In this, two young players Sanju Samson and Rishabh Pant got a chance.. But it seems that Sanju has more chances than Rishabh in the final team.. Actually Rishabh and Sanju are very talented players. Can change the shape of a match with one hand. He can show his ability in both batting and keeping.. But if we look at the statistics, cricket analysts believe that Sanjune deserves wicket keeping.
Rishabh Pant, who was seriously injured in a road accident two years ago, after recovering, made an entry into the IPL. He led the Delhi team in the IPL. Moreover, he led the team from the front. In this sequence, the BCCI selectors who liked his style of play selected him for the T20 World Cup. Rishabh, who is playing badly in fast bowling, is getting better in spin bowling. In the recent IPL season, Pant was dismissed five times by the spin bowlers. Pant played 13 matches in this season. He scored 446 runs. His strike rate was 115. But in this he showed his dominance over the pace bowlers rather than the spinners. It is noteworthy that the pant dot balls are 35 percent in the bowling of the spinners.
Sanju dealt effectively with the spin bowlers. He was dismissed by spin bowlers only twice in the recent IPL edition. It is remarkable that it is also in the play off matches. In the rest of the matches, he showed complete dominance over the pace bowlers. 150 strike rate continued. He scored 531 runs together. And his dot ball percentage is 19. Sanju showed excellent talent in both batting and keeping. He led the team as the captain of Kolkata.
Since Sanju is better than Rishabh, it is being spread that he will get a chance in the final team. America and West Indies are hosting the T20 World Cup. Grounds in both these countries are favorable for spinners. This is a kind of hindrance for Rishabh Pant. Because there is a rumor that Rishabh cannot face spin bowling.. Sanju can counter attack the spinners. His statistics also reveal the same thing. But it will be interesting to see which of these two Rohit Sharma will lean towards.
