Ruturaj Gaikwad And Shubman Gill
Indian selectors have announced Team India for T20 World Cup 2024. 15 players have got place in the team. Four players are included in the traveling reserve. But the five Indian captains who played in IPL 2024 have not got a place in the T20 World Cup 2024. While Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant, Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson and Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya have got a place in the T20 World Cup team.
1. KL Rahul
KL Rahul is the captain of Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2024. He has not got a chance in T20 World Cup 2024. In the current season of IPL, he could not perform as per his name. He has scored 378 runs in 9 matches of IPL 2024, in which he has an average of 42.00 and has batted at a strike rate of 144.27. He participated in the T20 World Cup 2021 and 2022 for the Indian team.
2. Shubhman Gill
The captain of Gujarat Titans in IPL 2024 is Shubman Gill. He has not been included in the Indian team for T20 World Cup 2024. He is included in the traveling reserve. In place of Gill, the selectors have chosen Yashasvi Jaiswal to open with Rohit Sharma. In IPL 2024, he has scored 320 runs in 10 matches at a strike rate of 140.96.
3. Ruturaj Gaikwad
The captain of Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2024 is Ruturaj Gaikwad. He is captaining in IPL for the first time. But he too has not got a chance in the Indian team for T20 World Cup 2024.

He has scored only 251 runs in IPL 2024.
5. Shikhar Dhawan
Shikhar Dhawan was not in the race for a place in the T20 World Cup 2024. He played his last T20 match for India in the year 2021 against Sri Lanka. He is the captain of Punjab Kings in IPL 2024. Dhawan has not been in his rhythm and has scored only 152 runs in the current season of IPL.
