NEW DELHI : Skipper Rohit Sharma will believe India have packed enough firepower into their middle order to blow away their opponents and end their global title drought at the T20 World Cup in West Indies and the United States.
Former Indian cricket team batter Sanjay Manjrekar believes that Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will not repeat their mistakes from the T20 World Cup 2022 semifinal match against England where they were defeated by 10 wickets. In his column for Hindustan Times, Manjrekar said that India could only manage to score 168 runs against England due to the slow batting by the top-order batters. However, he added that both Virat and Rohit have evolved as T20 batters and they will not make the same mistakes in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. India start their campaign against Ireland on June 5.
After two months of intense competitive cricket under night lights, the Indian cricket team, sans Virat Kohli, began its preparations for the T20 World Cup with a morning training session here, keeping in mind the 10.30am starts for all its preliminary games. Kohli took a break for personal work after RCB's IPL ouster and in all likelihood, he will join the squad by Friday. But it is not clear if he would be able to take part in the only warm-up game against Bangladesh on Saturday after a long flight.
Australia will be aiming to become the first team to possess all three of cricket's global titles at the same time, but a bigger success will be if the T20 World Cup next month can help the game crack a lucrative market in the United States.
Suryakumar Yadav trolled fellow Indian cricket team star Yashasvi Jaiswal with skipper Rohit Sharma's famous "Garden mein ghoomega" dialogue on social media. Jaiswal posted a picture of himself exploring the streets of New York ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024. Suryakumar was quick to comment on the picture as he wrote - "Sambhaal ke. Garden me ghoomega tho pata hai na (Be careful. You know what will happen if you roam in the garden".
Following Team India's first training session ahead of their ICC T20 World Cup opening clash, star allrounder Ravindra Jadeja said it will be fun playing cricket in New York. The ICC T20 World Cup will be played in the West Indies and the USA from June 1 to 29. Men in Blue will also play Bangladesh in their only warm-up game on June 1 at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) took to their official social media handle and shared and shared a glimpse of their first training session in the US.
Skipper Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will look to end India's global title drought as the star duo step out for what is likely to be their final World Cup appearance. Rohit, 37, and Kohli, 35, have long been the twin torchbearers for the hopes of their cricket-mad nation, which last saw a major title triumph in the 2013 Champions Trophy. India made the final of last year's ODI World Cup at home but lost to Australia in front of a crestfallen packed house at the world's biggest cricket stadium in Ahmedabad.
The decision taken by Indian cricket team selectors to exclude Rinku Singh from the T20 World Cup 2024 squad led to a lot of criticism from both fans and experts. The BCCI decided to go with Shivam Dube and Axar Patel as all-rounder options but it led to Rinku getting a place in the reserves. It was a bad IPL campaign for Rinku as he did not get many chances to bat and ended up scoring just 168 runs. However, KKR went on to win the competition and Rinku has now broken his silence over the T20 World Cup snub. In a recent interview, Rinku said that the decision to not include him the squad was due to the team composition and even revealed the conversation he had with skipper Rohit Sharma about the decision.
