T20 World Cup 2024: Team India’s preparations for the T20 World Cup 2024 are going on in the IPL itself. All the players who are contenders are currently playing in the field. Meanwhile, Team India is to be announced soon for the T20 World Cup. Slowly his date is coming closer. Meanwhile, the selectors are also keeping a close eye on the performance of the Indian players and their selection will also be done on the same basis. However, you know that there are some players whose place is confirmed in the Indian team. They are continuously performing well. But there are a large number of players about whom it cannot be said with certainty that they will be selected.
Who will be the backup opener after Rohit Sharma?
There should not be much doubt that Rohit Sharma will go to the T20 World Cup as captain. But now the question is who will open with Rohit. Although Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill are contenders for this, but recently there were reports that Virat Kohli can also open. If this happens then this pair can prove to be a superhit. But even after this a backup opener will be required. This will mean that only one player between Shubman and Yashasvi will be selected, while the other may have to sit out.
Apart from Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson is also a contender
Rishabh Pant is going to be the first choice as a wicket-keeper batsman. He looks completely fit. He is scoring runs for his team and also doing excellent keeping. But the World Cup cannot be relied upon only on Pant. A backup keeper will also be required. Sanju Samson’s claim in this seems quite strong. At the same time, Ishan Kishan, Jitesh Sharma and KL Rahul are also staking their claim by playing well. It will be interesting to see who will win.
Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dubey may also get tickets
Whatever may be said, but everyone knows that if Hardik Pandya is completely fit then he will also go to the World Cup. But he continues to struggle with injuries. Even during the ODI World Cup played last year, he was removed from the middle. After this the Indian team was stuck in trouble. In such a situation, there will be a need for a player who is an all-rounder and can bat in the middle order. If needed, he can also play the role of finisher. Shivam Dubey seems fit for this, but it will be interesting to see what the selectors think about him.
How will Team India’s bowling be?
If we talk about bowling, the departure of Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav is almost certain. Whereas in the absence of Mohammed Shami, Siraj can be seen filling that gap. But who will be the remaining bowlers is a big question. Apart from Arshdeep Singh, Avesh Khan, Harshal Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravi Bishnoi are also staking their claim among the spinners. Only time will tell who will get success.
