As per ICC guidelines, the last date to submit teams for the World Cup is May 1. Indian Cricket Team (Image Credit- Twitter) In the current IPL, many players are seen performing well continuously. Team India will be selected for the upcoming T20 World Cup keeping in mind the first phase of IPL. Cricket experts and former cricketers are sharing their opinions on social media about what the Indian team should be like and which players should get a chance for the T20 World Cup 2024 to be held in America and West Indies in June. Meanwhile, former cricketer Venkatesh Prasad has given his opinion on how the team should be and which players should get a chance in the team. Venkatesh Prasad expressed his opinion about including these players in the team for T20 WC 2024. Venkatesh Prasad said that Shivam Dubey and Rinku Singh should be included in the Indian team for the T20 World Cup 2024. In this year’s IPL, Shivam Dubey has performed brilliantly for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) since his first match. He has scored runs at a strike rate of more than 160. Dubey’s contribution could be invaluable in spin-friendly conditions in the West Indies. Not only this, it was also said by him that Dubey can be given a chance in the playing eleven along with Suryakumar Yadav and Rinku Singh. Shivam Dube for his striking ability against spinners, Surya for being the best T20 international batter and Rinku Singh for his exceptional finishing ability. It will be great if India finds a way to have these 3 in the 11 in the T20 WC. With Virat and Rohit, this will leave… — Venkatesh Prasad (@venkateshprasad) April 8, 2024 Which players should not be included in T20 WC 2024? The former cricketer’s tweet regarding the playing eleven shows that it will be difficult for Hardik to make a place in the World Cup team. Because along with mentioning the above three players, he also said that due to the presence of Virat Kohli and captain Rohit Sharma in the team, the management will consider only the wicketkeeper-batsman position. Prasad said in a tweet, “Shivam Dubey for his ability to play big shots against spin, Surya (Kumar Yadav) the best international batsman in T20 and Rinku Singh for his exceptional finishing ability; If the Indian management finds a way to include all three of them together in the playing eleven in the T20 World Cup, it will be very beneficial. With the presence of Virat and Rohit in the team, there will be only one wicket-keeping batsman after these five.” In such a situation, it will be interesting to see whether the team will be formed keeping these issues in mind or not. Let us tell you that the Indian team for the upcoming World Cup can be announced by the end of April. As per ICC guidelines, the last date to submit teams for the World Cup is May 1. After this, each team will have only one chance to make changes…

Ruturaj Gaikwad Faf du Plessis & IPL Trophy (Photo Source: BCCI/IPL) IPL 2025 Mega Auction: IPL 2024 is currently being played in India in an exciting manner. Meanwhile, discussions have started regarding the mega auction of the next season. The IPL 2025 mega auction will be held at the end of the year. Before this mega auction, a big report has come out, actually the franchises want to change the number of players to be retained. BCCI is going to hold a meeting with all the 10 franchises on April 16 regarding the IPL 2025 mega auction. IPL 2025 Mega Auction: Franchises made big demands from the board The last mega auction of IPL took place in 2022, that year the rule was that franchises could retain 4 players. A player could be bought back using the ‘Right to Match’ (RTM) card, which could include a maximum of 3 Indian and 2 foreign players. Before the IPL 2025 Mega Auction, the franchises are demanding to retain 8 players instead of 4. BCCI source while talking to Times of India said, ‘Things are in a very early stage. The board is seeking recommendations to take the league forward. Player retention is a major factor in this. According to informal discussions, most of the franchises are in favor of a rule where they can retain around eight players before the auction. Franchises feel that there is a need for continuity in the team combination, so efforts should be made to retain a large part of the core team. The BCCI source also said that the franchises have also demanded to increase the current purse from Rs 90 crore to Rs 100 crore. Because BCCI now has big media rights. The BCCI source further said, ‘There will be some resistance as some franchises will want a larger pool of players in the auction to rebuild their teams. Everyone must remember that there are 10 teams now and if the number of retentions is increased, there will be a ‘cream pool’. The meeting to be held on April 16 is likely to revolve around these issues.

He wrote, “In Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and other places, the main cricket stadiums are named after great players from that city or state. Yet, there are no stands in the names of Vishi, Prasad and Chandra in Bengaluru. On behalf of the cricket fans of the state, I urge you and the KSCA to name the stand after these three great cricketers who have upheld the spirit of the game on and off the field.” Guha has also suggested if KSCA does not agree to change the name. “If KSCA does not agree to this, I would like to suggest that the state government name the roads adjacent to the stadium after him.” Guha is not the only person to say this. Recently, at a felicitation ceremony of the 1974 Karnataka Ranji team, former cricketer Sunil Gavaskar shared this through a video. He had said- “I hope that on the occasion of this golden jubilee, KSCA will name some of the stands at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium after these legendary players and honor them, especially those who won the Ranji Trophy for the first time, Prasanna, BS Chandrasekhar, Gundappa Vishwanath….”

He answered the anchor’s question jokingly. Actually, Rohit Sharma was asked in Netflix’s The Great Indian Kapil Show, which are those players with whom you would not want to share your room? Rohit Sharma answered this question humorously and said that he would not share a room with Shikhar Dhawan or Rishabh Pant because they are very dirty. His room is always on DND- Rohit Sharma The Indian captain said, “Everyone gets a room these days. But if I get a chance to share a room, there are two people with whom I would not want to share a room – Shikhar Dhawan and Rishabh Pant. They are very dirty. After practice, they just throw their clothes on the bed.” He further added, “His room is always on DND because he sleeps till 1 am. The housekeeping staff comes in the morning and cleans their rooms, so it is important for them to keep their rooms on DND. Otherwise they will go inside, their rooms often remain like this for three-four days. This causes problems to the people living around them. So, I don’t think I will be able to live with them.” In the show, Rohit Sharma also gave his reaction to the defeat in the World Cup 2023 final. He said, I was thinking that the World Cup took place in our country but still we could not win. I thought the country might be angry with us, but I heard people complimenting how well we played and that they enjoyed watching cricket.

“They have very talented players to choose from”- RCB head coach on Virat’s T20 World Cup selection
Virat Kohli played a brilliant century against Rajasthan Royals on 6th April, which everyone is praising at the moment. But he is also being criticized a lot for the strike rate at which he scored his century. After seeing this inning of his, now there is only one question in everyone’s mind whether he will get a place in the Indian team for the T20 World Cup to be held in June. Now RCB coach Andy Flower has given his opinion on this issue. Speaking about India’s T20 World Cup selection, the RCB coach said that, he does not know what the Indian selectors are thinking at the moment. However, he further said that, Kohli is currently on top among the players available for selection for this ICC event to be held in June. Andy Flower said, “Virat Kohli is a great player and the brilliant innings he played today was excellent. And it was actually really beautiful to see. I really won’t comment on the selection of the Indian team. I don’t know what they’re thinking. They have very talented players to choose from, you know, the team doesn’t have a better player than Virat Kohli in terms of experience.” The RCB coach was highly critical of the team’s batting performance as he felt that Kohli and captain Faf du Plessis failed to utilize the start they had given the team. Flower believes that the team started well with the ball but their momentum ended in the last over of the powerplay. He said, “To be honest, we were a little light in scoring runs. Given the head start we had, I felt that way. So if you look at the 12th over, I think we were at 107 without losing any wicket. I think we should have done that, after being in that position on a good pitch, we should have gone beyond 200, but it did not happen. We started well with the ball, Topli and Yash made a great start but the momentum went in their favor in the last over of the powerplay.
