T20 World Cup will start from June 2. All the countries have to announce the team of 15 by May 1. Who will be in India's 15-member team, speculation is high. The coach of the Bengal cricket team chose his 15.
One of the biggest issues in picking India's squad for the T20 World Cup is all-rounders. The Indian Cricket Board came up with the Impact Player rule from the last IPL. I was saying from the beginning that this rule will create danger for all-rounders. A few days ago, Indian team captain Rohit Sharma was also saying the same thing. And before the T20 World Cup, India's biggest problem is with that all-rounder spot.
Before the start of IPL, Hardik Pandya was thought of as an all-rounder. But the form Hardik is in this time in IPL should not get a place in the team. If Hardik is kept in the T20 World Cup squad, it will be a loss for the team. In all these years, Hardik could not win many matches single-handedly. Cannot take wicket with ball in hand. giving runs Not getting runs with the bat. Despite getting runs, he is playing a very slow innings. Keeping such an all-rounder in the team will do no good.
Shivam Dubey should be taken to that place. Chennai Super Kings are in terrific form with the bat. But the problem is that the impact player is not giving the ball to Chennai because of the rules. As a result, Dubey was not seen to bowl in the IPL. He also bowls in domestic cricket. The selectors will surely keep that in mind while choosing the team.
The impact player rule should be changed. Otherwise, India will not get an all-rounder in the coming days. The board is harming the country by making IPL popular. It can be understood while selecting the team for this year's T20 World Cup. Many all-rounders in the IPL are playing only as batsmen or bowlers. As a result, the selectors will have to face problems in choosing the team. That said, if Hardik is taken, it will be the biggest mistake
There is concern about all-rounders, but there is no concern about wicket-keeping. Rishabh Panth has solved all the problems. With the way he has returned to cricket after the car accident, his omission from the T20 World Cup squad will be a surprise decision. Panth should be the first name in the Indian team as a wicketkeeper. Sanju Samson should also be included in the team. In the form he is in, it would be unfair to drop Sanju. Rather, there is no place for Lokesh Rahul in this team.
The opening venue of the Indian team is very crowded. That is also a cause for concern. Who will open with Rohit Sharma? Yasswi Jaiswal is a good cricketer. Test runs. But I would say Ruturaj Gaikwad should be taken as Rohit's partner in T20 World Cup. Let Yassavi stay in the team as the third opener. Ruturaj has scored 447 runs in 9 matches in IPL so far. Scored a hundred. Strike rate 149.50. Yasaswi scored 249 runs in 9 matches there. Yashweer lacks consistency. But he is a good cricketer. He should be kept in the T20 World Cup team.
India's main problem will be when choosing the pace department. Mohammed Shami's injury is a big shock. Along with that, not playing Akash Deep in IPL is also a loss. Akash was in great form. He spoke for Bengal. Played well for India. Royal Challengers Bangalore kept that pacer. Yash is playing Dayal. He is giving runs. It is not playing the sky. If Akash had played in the IPL, he would have made it to the T20 World Cup. But that didn't happen. So the selectors may have a problem in choosing Yashpreet Bumrah's partner.
