A lot of development has been made in recent times in the Indian Camp regarding the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. The one of biggest is Skipper Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will be opening for Team India in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 however, it is yet to be officially announced by BCCI.
The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 is scheduled to start from June 01, 2024, to June 29, 2024. The USA and West Indies are the host nations of the T20 World Cup 2024 but most of the matches will be played in West Indies. India and Pakistan are in Group A with Ireland, Canada and the USA, therefore we can witness the greatest rivalry in the T20 World Cup 2024.
Why is Virat Kohli set to open with Rohit Sharma?
In the Indian Premier League (IPL), Virat Kohli usually came to open for Royal Challengers Bengaluru with Faf du Plessis and he indeed had success in it. Rohit Sharma has been a phenomenal opening batsman but youngsters Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal weren’t in their best form in the TATA IPL 2024.
This led the selection panel to think about Virat Kohli as an opener in the Indian Team for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. However, as per the reports, Shubman Gill will be the backup opener of the Indian Team in this tournament and Yashasvi Jaiswal is likely to not get added to the squad.
Riyan Parag likely to get added to the T20 World Cup Squad:
Riyan Parag has been playing exceptional cricket in the TATA IPL 2024 for Rajasthan Royals as he is the second leading run-scorer of the tournament after Virat Kohli. If Riyan Parag continues the same performance throughout the tournament then it will be a huge benefit for the Indian Team in the T20 World Cup 2024.
Hardik Pandya needs to bowl regularly in IPL to get the chance in T20 World Cup 2024:
Hardik Pandya isn’t playing good cricket in the TATA IPL 2024 either by bat or ball. Most importantly, he is not bowling regularly for Mumbai Indians in the TATA IPL 2024 therefore BCCI have informed him to bowl regularly in IPL to get added to the Indian Team for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024.
