Why Riyan Parag, Mayank Yadav Unlikely To Get T20 World Cup Call? Report Reveals 'High-Stakes' Reason

The T20 World Cup is just around the corner and the stakes are high, as far as India's squad is concerned, with multiple players fighting for a single spot in the team. However, the national selection committee is unlikely to select any rookie IPL performer for the showpiece event in the Americas.

Hardik Pandya is clearly under pressure. His team Mumbai Indians are not their usual self while his own captaincy, since replacing Rohit Sharma in Mumbai Indians, is under the scanner. The effect on Pandya is so apparent that former India star Robin Uthappa recently said that Pandya may be battling mental health. "The mocking, trolling, the memes about his fitness.

We, as people, I understand, as Indians, we are emotional. But it is not right to impose this kind of treatment on any human being. It is unbecoming as a society for us to do that to someone and be okay with it. We should not be laughing along with it. We should not be forwarding these memes," he said on the Ranveer Show.

Seeing another such outing by SRH in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match against Delhi Capitals, South Africa legend said that if there was a time he would want to be a bowler, it's today.
