Revealed: How India's T20 World Cup-Bound Players Have Fared In IPL - Concerns Over Hardik Pandya Remains

The likes of Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah and Suryakumar Yadav were automatic choices in India's T20 World Cup squad but the others made the cut with their exploits in the ongoing IPL. Nine of 15 players picked in the squad were also part of the team that went to Australia for the last edition of the tournament in 2022. Here is the lowdown on the selected India players' performance in the IPL so far:

1) Rohit Sharma: He has been among the standout batters for Mumbai Indians in what is turning out to be a forgettable season for the five-time champions.

In 9 matches, he has scored 311 at an excellent strike-rate of 160.30 with a top score of 105 not out against Chennai Super Kings at the Wankhede Stadium.

2) Hardik Pandya: A debatable selection as he is enduring a disastrous IPL. Appointed MI's captain under controversial circumstances, Hardik has scored 197 runs, which includes 10 sixes, in nine IPL matches so far. When it comes to bowling, he has taken four wickets at an economy of 11.95.

3) Yashasvi Jaiswal: The Rajasthan Royals opener had a string of low scores before a 59-ball hundred against Mumbai Indians brought him right back into contention.

4) Virat Kohli: In the run-up to the Indian team selection, there was a lot of chatter around the strike-rate of the game's all-time great in T20s, but he silenced his detractors by amassing 500 runs at a strike rate nearly 150 in 10 matches.

5) Suryakumar Yadav: One of the highlights of Surya's campaign this season is his belligerent 78-run nock against Punjab Kings. Playing in his first competitive tournament after recovering from twin surgeries, he also has a 19-ball 52 to his credit.

6) Rishabh Pant: Returning to top-flight cricket after recovering from injuries sustained
