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.

Rohit has been able to pull himself out of the World Cup defeat with great difficulty, made a shocking revelation

Rohit Sharma. (Photo Source: X(Twitter) Rohit Sharma led from the front and scored a brilliant century (121* off 69 balls). Thanks to this inning, India won the third T20 match after the double super over against Afghanistan at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on January 17 and won the series 3-0. After this match, Rohit had a special conversation with JioCinema and Sports18 and answered some interesting questions. 1) To what extent was India able to execute its plans in the 3-0 series win? We discussed a lot before the series. I had not played for a year, so I discussed ideas with Rahul bhai (Dravid). Although I was watching the match, I was not playing. I understood some things, so we wanted to implement them and also do something different. We wanted our bowlers to bowl differently, no one was comfortable bowling in the power play, so we had to use them there. Some people were not comfortable bowling in the death overs, we asked them to bowl there. 2) How difficult was it to recover from the World Cup defeat? I don’t think anyone needs inspiration here. All boys want to leave their mark. Not everyone gets a chance to play for India, so I’m sure all the boys who are here want to make the most of it. You can see that they are taking full advantage of the opportunities they are getting. With that approach, my and Rahul Bhai’s work has become very easy. We just need to provide clarity. 3) What did you do to reach this form after losing the World Cup? The 50 over World Cup is the biggest World Cup for me. It is not that I do not give importance to the T20 World Cup and the World Test Championship. But, we have grown up watching the 50-over World Cup. And when it happens in India it is a very big tournament. Unfortunately we could not win. The whole team was sad. I’m sure all the fans were sad too. But now we have another opportunity and we will focus on how to use that opportunity and win the World Cup. 4) How much practice did you take to play that reverse sweep and switch hit in the third T20I? I have been practicing it a lot in the nets. You have to play some shots to put pressure on the bowlers. When the ball is spinning and you can’t hit it straight, you have to try something new. I have been practicing reverse sweep and sweep for the last two years. You might have seen me playing him once or twice in Test matches. You have options and it is up to you how you use those options. The ball was turning and getting grip today, so I thought I would play with turn rather than going out and hitting it hard in front of the wicket.

Sports and management company 21st Century Media has received the highest payment of Rs 39 crore from BCCI. ICC Cricket World Cup (Image Credit- Twitter) The Indian cricket team had performed very well in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. The team made it to the finals of the World Cup by winning 10 consecutive matches. However, Team India had to face defeat at the hands of Australia in the final of the World Cup. This was the first time that the entire World Cup was hosted by India. So, India’s advertising, airlines and hotel companies have benefited a lot from this World Cup. The Board of Control for Cricket in India has recently cleared the outstanding bills of all the people. BCCI gave information Let us tell you that the information about payment of more than 25 lakhs has been officially announced by BCCI. Among these outstanding payments, BCCI has made the biggest payment to sports marketing company TCM (21st Century Media). The entire marketing work during the World Cup was done by this firm, which also included the mid-innings ceremony during the final match. For this, BCCI has paid Rs 38.60 crore to this firm. Apart from this, Rs 23.47 crore has been paid to Media Investment Group M for media management.

These five players are the most unlucky in terms of run outs, Virat-Dhoni’s name also included in the list.

Virat and Dhoni’s names are also included in this list. Rohit Sharma. (Photo Source: X(Twitter) When it comes to the most disappointing way to get out in cricket, the first one is runout. Many times, it is the fault of one of the two batsmen and very rarely it happens that you get run out because of a fielder. Very often it happens that either the batsman calling for a run has taken a wrong decision, or the other batsman did not hear the call, or some other reason. Indian players are also quite infamous for being run out in international cricket. The latest example of this was seen in the first T20 match between India and Afghanistan in Mohali on 11 January. Rohit Sharma hit a straight shot and ran to take the run, but his teammate Shubman Gill was watching the ball and did not react. The result was that Rohit returned to the pavilion on the second ball of the match without opening his account. Top 5 Indian Players involved in most Run-Outs in T20I International cricket 1) Ravindra Jadeja Ravindra Jadeja. (Photo Source: BCCI) Ravindra Jadeja He is one of the fastest running cricketers on the field. He is also very quick between the wickets at a distance of 22 yards. However, sometimes he fails to understand that his teammates are not as fast as he is. He is seen running fast between the wickets along with a player like MS Dhoni or Virat Kohli. But many times he forgets that the other batsman at the other end is not as fast as him. Due to this, Jadeja also had to be run out and his count in T20 matches has increased four times. He has been run out four times in T20Is and his highest score while being out in this mode was seven runs.

Rinku Singh shared a special post about Rohit Sharma, wrote from his heart

RInku Singh and Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: Getty Images) Ever since Rinku Singh made her debut for India, this dashing batsman has impressed everyone with her match-winning performances. Let us tell you that, in the third T20I against Afghanistan, the young players came to bat under a lot of pressure. In fact, in this match, the Indian team had at one time lost four wickets at the score of 22 runs. However, even in this pressure moment, Rinku Singh maintained his composure and made an unbroken partnership of 190 runs with captain Rohit Sharma. It was due to this partnership that India had put 212 runs on the board. Rinku scored 69* runs in 39 balls, while Rohit scored 121* runs in 69 balls. Both of them dominated the Afghan bowling order and played shots freely against everyone. Rinku Singh shared this special post for Rohit Sharma None of the plans of the Afghan bowlers worked against these two. Meanwhile, this was the first time that Rinku batted with Rohit Sharma in international cricket. Talking about her experience of batting with Rohit, Rinku told that she enjoyed batting with Rohit and learned a lot from him. Regarding this, Rinku Singh shared a post on social media and wrote, “Got to learn a lot from Rohit Sharma bhaiya at the crease while batting.” Let us tell you that, meanwhile, despite proving herself many times in the shortest format, Rinku’s place in the playing eleven for the T20 World Cup has not yet been confirmed. Players like Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya will make a comeback in that tournament, due to which their place in the playing eleven may be in danger. In such a situation, the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League will mean a lot for Rinku. If he maintains his form and keeps playing match-winning innings for Kolkata Knight Riders, he will remain in the race for the T20 World Cup. In the 2023 edition of the tournament, he scored 474 runs in 14 matches and soon after, he got a chance to debut for Team India.

I don’t think the team for T20 World Cup will be selected on the basis of Afghanistan series- Parthiv Patel

Team India is ahead 2-0 in the T-20 series against Afghanistan. Ravindra Jadeja, Parthiv Patel and Akshar Patel. (Image Source: BCCI/Instagram) After taking an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series, India will take on Afghanistan in the third and final T20I at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru tonight. Before this match, JioCinema and Sports18’s cricket experts Saba Karim and Parthiv Patel talked about the role of Mukesh Sharma in the death overs and the change in India’s strategy in the final match and also answered many more questions. 1) On Mukesh Kumar’s role in Death Overs Parthiv Patel: I think he can definitely bowl in the powerplay, he has the skill. He has played a lot of first class cricket and knows what length to bowl, he is not a swing bowler. He is someone who hits the seam and hits back-of-length kind of balls. However, he has improved a lot as a death bowler. India may consider batting first in the third T20 match and put pressure on the opposition team. You can’t question anyone’s abilities but Mukesh Kumar has definitely improved as a death bowler. Will India bat or bowl first in Chinnaswamy? Saba Karim: I hope they chase the target in Bengaluru. Not only to keep the bowlers under question but also to test the depth of their batting. Lower-order players like Akshar Patel and Washington Sundar can be looked at. After the arrival of Hardik Pandya, you can understand whether you want to go with three seamers or spinners in the playing eleven or not? Parthiv Patel: We can also consider preparing slow wickets. The upcoming T20 World Cup will be held in America and West Indies where slow wickets are expected. Players may be tested for similar conditions. We all know that Chinnaswamy is a flat batting wicket, but turn can also be found on that wicket and India can consider doing so. In this way you can test your players and prepare the team for the World Cup. How important will this match be for Rohit Sharma Parthiv Patel: I do not see this series as a selection series for the World Cup. I don’t think any player’s performance or not will impact their chances of World Cup selection, especially when you are talking about Rohit Sharma or Virat Kohli. Once you pick them for the series, it means they are going to the World Cup. For Rohit Sharma personally he would like to score runs. He loves to create an atmosphere and if he is involved in it, he will want to make it big. Also read: Know who is Caribbean pacer Shamar Joseph, who is being discussed a lot in the cricket world?
