The talent is there, the form is also there, but still these five match winners will not get a place in the team for the T20 World Cup.
T20 World Cup will be played from June 1, 2024. KL Rahul (Photo Source: Twitter) The T20 World Cup will be played in June 2024. This marquee tournament will be played hosted by West Indies and United States. Indian fans will try to end their ICC trophy drought that has lasted for more than a decade. With less than five months left for the T20 World Cup, all the players are ready to give their best performance in the coming months to make a place in the team. Rohit Sharma has made a comeback in the three-match T20 (T20I) series against Afghanistan on home ground. Apart from this, another senior veteran Virat Kohli has also returned. On one hand, some players would like to take advantage of the opportunity ahead of the T20I event, while on the other hand, some big names may be missing from India’s 2024 T20 World Cup squad as the selectors have dropped them from the T20I squad. Five players who might not feature in India’s T20 World squad 5) Ruturaj Gaikwad Ruturaj Gaikwad (Pic Source-Twitter) In the five-match T20 series against Australia in November-December Ruturaj Gaikwad Performed brilliantly with the bat. In the third T20I played at Barsapara Stadium, he scored an unbeaten 123 runs and scored his first international century. Despite seeing his excellent performance, the team management did not give him a chance in the playing eleven in the T20 series in South Africa. With Rohit’s return to the team, Gaikwad is unlikely to get a place in the 2024 T20 World Cup squad as the team management is likely to give chances to Shubhman Gill and Ruturaj Gaikwad ahead of Gaikwad.
Removing KL Rahul as wicketkeeper in Test cricket may prove costly for India.
KL Rahul can play an important role with batting as well as wicketkeeping. KL Rahul (Pic Source-Twitter) Experienced wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul recently performed well in the Test series against South Africa. In the unavailability of Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul batted very well at number 6 and his wicketkeeping was also excellent. However, the team management does not want to put too much workload on KL Rahul in the Test series against England. A BCCI source told Times of India that the team management is backing KL Rahul only as a batsman. However, KL Rahul can play an important role along with batting as well as wicketkeeping. Today we will tell you about three main reasons why the team management should not remove KL Rahul from the post of wicketkeeper in the upcoming England Test series. 1- KL Rahul has a lot of experience in batting as well as wicketkeeping.

In 5 test matches, KS Bharat has scored only 129 runs at an average above 18. Not only this, his wicketkeeping has also not been so good. Talking about Dhruv Jurel, he does not have much experience of wicketkeeping in international cricket. In the unavailability of Ishan Kishan, KL Rahul can do wicketkeeping for the Indian team very well.
KL Rahul will play as a specialist batsman in the Test series against England – claims BCCI official
KL Rahul (Photo Source: Getty Images) Indian cricketer KL Rahul, after an incredible comeback in Test cricket, will be seen playing not as a wicketkeeper but as a specialist batsman in the home Test series against England. Rahul played in the two-Test series against South Africa and scored a brilliant century in Centurion. However, according to the TOI report, the team management wants to use him as a specialist batsman and not a wicketkeeper on the turning tracks at home. A BCCI source made a big revelation regarding KL Rahul A BCCI source was quoted by TOI as saying, “Rahul will play as a specialist batsman from now on. While in overseas Tests you just have to stand up to the fast bowlers, wicketkeeping is not easy in India, where the spinners can work in tandem. The ball may bounce or spin faster on spin-friendly home wickets. You have to move up and down as a ‘keeper. “We want a specialist in that role.” The source further said, “Rahul, on the other hand, is one of our most valuable batsmen. We don’t want to trouble him by making him keep wickets. There is also a risk of injury if he stands behind the stumps. Which we cannot tolerate. Bharat and Dhruv Jurel will be our wicketkeepers in this series.” There has been a lot of debate about Ishan Kishan’s availability after he asked for a break due to mental fatigue during the South Africa tour. Whereas there were many reports that the team management had thrown him out due to his poor attitude. But later coach Rahul Dravid clarified in a press conference that Ishaan has not yet made himself available for selection. Regarding this matter, the source said, “He (Ishan) has not been considered for the England series because he has not yet told the BCCI whether he can be considered for selection again or not.” Also read: This Australian star cricketer suddenly retired from cricket
