The anticipation surrounding India’s squad announcement for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 finally culminated in the unveiling of a formidable lineup led by Rohit Sharma.
Rishabh Pant’s return to international cricket following an almost fatal injury layoff adds a compelling narrative to India’s campaign. Alongside him, the talented Sanju Samson, known for his explosive batting prowess, shoulders the responsibility behind the stumps.
Shivan Dube’s electrifying IPL performances secured his berth in the squad, showcasing the depth of talent in India’s cricketing pool.
India squad: Rohit Sharma (c), Hardik Pandya (vc), Arshdeep Singh, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohd. Siraj, Ravindra Jadeja, Rishabh Pant (wk), Sanju Samson (wk), Shivam Dube, Suryakumar Yadav, Virat Kohli, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Yuzvendra Chahal.
The announcement of India’s T20 World Cup squad seemed like a dream come true for many players, but since then, things have taken a rough turn in the ongoing IPL.
Rohit Sharma, Mumbai Indians’ star batsman, scored only 4 runs in the last match against Lucknow. Suryakumar Yadav managed just 10 runs, and Hardik Pandya got out without scoring at all.
Chennai Super Kings’ Ravindra Jadeja could only muster 2 runs against Punjab, while Shivam Dube was dismissed for a duck.
In today’s match, Rajasthan Royals’ Sanju Samson got out for a duck, failing to score a single run. Yuzvendra Chahal, also playing for Rajasthan, had a tough day, giving away 62 runs in just 4 overs, with a run rate of 15.5 runs per over.
People on social media are talking about a “World Cup selection curse” because of these performances.
