IPL 2024: No KKR or SRH player in India's T20 World Cup squad, lowest ranked Mumbai Indians has 4
Rinku Singh from Kolkata Knight Riders has made it to the list of Reserve Players for the T20 World Cup. The decision drew considerable ire from the fans, who pointed out the recent performances of Rinku Singh, where he did really well. Mumbai Indians, a team that finished at the bottom of the IPL 2024 points table, has four players in the T20 World Cup 2024 squad: Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, and Jasprit Bumrah.
Similarly, Delhi Capitals, which finished 6th on the IPL 2024 points table, has three players: Rishabh Pant, Axar Patel, and Kuldeep Yadav. If we look at the players from the other two teams in the IPL 2024 playoffs, the Rajasthan Royals have three players in India's T20 World Cup squad, while the Royal Challengers Bengaluru has two. Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Yuzvendra Chahal from RR will represent India at the global stage, while from RCB, it is ace batter Virat Kohli and pacer Mohammed Siraj.
While no SRH player has made it to the 15-member India's T20 World Cup 2024 squad, the veteran players seem impressed with the team's young opener, Abhishek Sharma. He provided SRH with some really strong starts this season and supported Travis Head well to establish a strong foundation for some record-breaking totals. "If you go back to the story of Yashasvi Jaiswal, he jumped the rails quickly through the IPL and the Indian side.
Been a revelation in Test match cricket. Probably early to say this, but Abhishek could do exactly the same," former England captain Michael Vaughan told Cricbuzz. "He could easily do the same across all three formats.
His technical side is excellent. He has got Brian Lara-esque and Yuvraj Singh-type swing of the willow," he added. Milestone Alert!
