T20 World Cup 2024 Team Announcement Live: It will be really interesting to see that who will be opening for India, alongside Rohit Sharma at the T20 World Cup. Both Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill are having an average outing in the ongoing IPL but the former's century has brought him back into the contention.
Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has backed Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Hardik Pandya to hit 6 sixes in an over in the upcoming T20 World Cup in the Americas. Making his MI captaincy debut this season, Hardik is going through a rought patch with both bat and ball. He has been often criticised for his leadership, as well as his batting strike-rate. During a recent interaction with ICC, Yuvraj was asked to pick a player who he thinks could hit 6 sixes in an over during the upcoming T20 World Cup.
Former captain Sourav Ganguly feels Axar Patel will book his place in the Indian team for the upcoming T20 World Cup as he can be moved around in the batting order depending on match situation. Axar has bowled splendidly all season at an economy rate of 7.06 and when promoted, he showed his batting prowess against Gujarat Titans. "Axar, is a certainty. Both Rishabh and Axar are certainties for me at the T20 World Cup. The way things are going in T20, Rohit will want someone to come at No. 8 and bat, give those 15-20 runs which Axar can easily do, and if he needs someone to go and smack spinners, Axar can do that as well.
Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan has recalled the time when he was kicked out of the team following an injury. Irfan, who made his India debut in 2003, played 29 Tests, 120 ODIs and 24 T20Is for the country between 2003 and 2012. His career, however, was hampered by recurring knee injuries. While he played his last game for India in 2012, he continued to feature in domestic cricket until 2019, hoping to earn a recall some day. However, in January 2020, he decided to announce his retirement from all formats of the game.
With the wait for T20 World Cup 2024 team selection about to end, India batter Shubman Gill opened up on his possible selection and non-selection for the marquee event. Gill, one of the most promising young batters in the team, hasn't quite set the T20 cricket stage on fire in recent times. His form for the Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League (IPL) has also not been up to the mark, with the opening batter only scoring 304 runs in 9 matches at an average of 38 and a strike-rate of 146.15.
In less than one week's time, India's T20 World Cup squad will be out. For a team, that last won an ICC trophy back in 2013, the 2024 T20 World Cup is a great opportunity for Rohit Sharma and Co. to end a long drought. Several experts have been giving their opinion on what the ideal 15-member India squad should look like. There is also 100 per cent consensus about two players who should be in the playing XI - Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) star batter Virat Kohli consolidated his lead in the Orange Cap standings with a 51-run knock vs SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Thursday. Kohli, who has now scored 430 runs in nine matches, helped RCB beat SRH by 35 runs in Hyderabad. This was RCB's second win of the season, and their first after six defeats on the bounce. However, Kohli's knock came under the scanner owing to poor strike rate. The 35-year-old took 37 balls to complete his half-century, and ended up scoring 51 off 43 balls at a strike-rate of 118.6.
India's star pacer Mohammed Shami on Friday cast his vote in Amroha during the second phase of Lok Sabha elections. After casting his vote, Shami urged citizens to exercise their franchise and "elect the government of their choice". "I just want to say that every citizen has the right to cast their votes and elect the government of their choice...It is a matter of pride for me that PM Narendra Modi took my name during his speech (in Amroha) and praised me and my game," Shami told the media. Voting was held in eight parliamentary constituencies of Uttar Pradesh - Amroha, Meerut, Baghpat, Ghaziabad, Gautam Budh Nagar, Aligarh, Mathura, and Bulandshahr during the second phase of Lok Sabha polls.
