On Thursday, India captain Rohit Sharma and chief selector Ajit Agarkar addressed the media on the topic of the T20 World Cup 2024 squad selection that was announced a couple of days ago.

In just over a month's time, India will hope to win the 2024 T20 World Cup and bring an end to their more than decade-long ICC trophy drought. They won the inaugural edition of the T20 World Cup in 2007 but surprisingly have never won another since.

Following his side's one-run loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) match, Rajasthan Royals (RR) all-rounder Riyan Parag, who has had a breakout season with the franchise, admitted that he is not in his best form since he could not finish the game and has got a lot of areas to improve. In reply to SRH's 202-run target set following half-centuries from Travis Head and Nitish Kumar Reddy, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Riyan almost won it for the Royals with a century partnership. But death bowling masterclass from SRH skipper Pat Cummins and Bhuvneshwar Kumar left the Pink franchise just one run short of a victory.
Former Indian cricket team player Madan Lal, who won the 1983 World Cup, believes that Rishabh Pant can be the player who will prove instrumental if the Rohit Sharma-led side wants to win the T20 World Cup 2024. It will be first international tournament for Pant since his near-fatal car accident in 2022 but his form in IPL 2024 for Delhi Capitals came as good news for the selectors as well as the fans. In a recent interview, Lal called his comeback 'superb' and hailed him as one of the top batters in the world.
Ahead of his side's Indian Premier League (IPL) match against Mumbai Indians (MI), Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) assistant coach Abhishek Nayar hailed skipper Shreyas Iyer for his mental strength and positive approach to life despite some ups and downs during the past few months, which include an all-time great campaign in ICC Cricket World Cup at home, back injuries, losing his Team India central contract and getting his commitment to red-ball cricket doubted on. MI and KKR will be locking horns in a high-octane clash at Wankhede Stadium on Friday. KKR is at the second spot in the points table, with six wins and three losses, giving them 12 points. They won their previous clash against Delhi Capitals. MI is in the ninth spot with three wins and seven losses, giving them just six points. They lost their previous game to Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).
