T20 World Cup 2024
T20 World Cup 2024: The T20 World Cup will start just five days after the end of the IPL tournament (from June 1). This year USA and West Indies are jointly hosting this tournament.
Team India, who narrowly lost the ODI World Cup last year, will enter the arena with the aim of winning the title this time. The biggest challenge before the BCCI selectors is who to select for the short World Cup. Give place to seniors…! Or send a young team…! That’s what Tarjana is saying.
On the one hand, while this debate was going on, on the other hand, former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan surprised everyone by selecting the team. Pathan continued Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli who were the backbone of Indian batting. Pathan emphasized that Kohli will be crucial in a big tournament. Also, cleared some misconceptions about his strike rate. He said that if the team is in trouble, none other than Kohli can save it. For that, he reminded Virat’s innings against Pakistan in the last T20 World Cup tournament.
Pant reentry
The biggest problem for the Indian team is who to pick as the wicketkeeper. Pant, who is showing his strength in the IPL, has returned to the team. However, he warned that he will face stiff competition from Jitesh Sharma.
Mohsin Khan
Irfan picked the uncapped player, Lucknow Supergiants pacer Mohsin Khan, as a must-have “gun left arm fast bowler” for any team aspiring to win the World Cup.
T20 World Cup squad (Irfan Pathan’s pick): Yashaswi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Jitesh Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj, Mohsin Khan, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravi Bishnoi.
