T20 World Cup 2024 – Team India : If all the teams selected youngsters for the T-20 World Cup, the Indian team believed in the seniors. That also gave opportunity to four key players playing in Mumbai Indians in IPL. Among them are Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma, Surya Kumar Yadav and Jaspreet Bumrah. Among them, Bumrah is the only one who excels in bowling. The rest of the players are getting better at batting. Actually guys like Surya Kumar Yadav, Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya are doing better in IPL. The likes of Mayank Yadav, Shashank Singh, Abhishek Sharma, Rian Parag, the sky is the limit. BCCI selectors did not give such a chance. In the T20 World Cup held in 2022, 8 players were given a chance in the Indian team that lost to England in the semifinals. In fact, where there should be opportunities for the new and the young, giving place to the old players, people like Yashaswi Jaiswal and Shivam Dubey were taken on the pretext of criticism.
Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma and Surya Kumar Yadav who are key players in the T20 team are not playing as expected in the current IPL. Rohit Sharma is batting aggressively and getting out soon. And Surya Kumar Yadav is the same.. He starts like a stormy innings.. and then he gets caught soon. Same situation with Hardik Pandya. These players who are crucial in the Mumbai team.. so far have not been able to play even a single innings. Surya Kumar Yadav won all the matches except 2 matches. Despite having such great players, the Mumbai team continues to be at the bottom of the points table.
It is an incomprehensible question as to who the selectors are trying to impress by selecting such out-of-form players. In fact, these three players have great records. But the T20 World Cup has nothing to do with the record. As the saying goes, what ever happened is now. Ignoring Cummins, who has provided the ICC ODI World Cup and Test Championship, Marsh has been entrusted with the T20 World Cup captaincy by the Australian team. Team India selectors have given captaincy to a player like Rohit Sharma who is found in power play. The selectors should know how T20 World Cup is possible without any variation in the team composition.
