The India team management is unlikely to think outside the box when they select the squad for the T20 World Cup, which takes place in June in the Caribbean and US.
India have included wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant in their 15-man squad for the Twenty20 World Cup in the West Indies and United States in June, the country's cricket board (BCCI) announced on Tuesday.
KL Rahul was excluded while veteran spinner Yuzvendra Chahal made a comeback as India announced their squad for the T20 World Cup 2024. Rohit Sharma will lead the Indian cricket team with Hardik Pandya serving as the vice-captain. Yashasvi Jaiswal was included as the opener option while Shivam Dube was rewarded for his brilliant form in the IPL 2024. Arshdeep Singh was added to the pace department along with Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah. Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson are the wicket-keeping options while Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja will be the all-rounders.
The Indian cricket team selection for the T20 World Cup is not going to be a straight forward affair at all for the BCCI and Indian team management. While the majority players are certain, there are certain spots which will be intensely debated, according to the several reports. While the players in the XI select themselves, the main point of contention are the players in the backup role. Like, the backup opener, or the backup pacer and wicketkeeper.

The win means that KKR have 12 points from 9 matches with a Net Run Rate of 1.096 - the best in the competition till now. They are second in the IPL 2024 points table and on the other hand, Delhi Capitals are sixth with 10 points from 11 matches with a NRR of -0.442.

Wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant can become the Indian cricket team vice-captain for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024 ahead of all-rounder Hardik Pandya, according to a report by Cricbuzz. Pant made an impressive comeback in IPL 2024 after being out of action since his near-fatal car accident back in December 2022. On the other hand, Hardik Pandya has struggled - both as a batter and bowler - in the ongoing competition with many experts also questioning his ability to lead the star-studded Mumbai Indians side. The report claimed that Pant has an advantage over Hardik considering their current forms when it comes to the race to become Rohit Sharma's deputy in the T20 World Cup 2024.
