new t20 opening pair for 2024 t20 world cup: Indian Premier League Where (IPL 2023) is in its final stages, the discussion is also in full swing regarding the ODI World Cup to be held in the next few months. In the background of this IPL, discussions have started on how the T20 World Cup team to be held next year, who should be given a chance and who should not. On the other hand, the BCCI has also started preparing for the T20 World Cup to be held a year after the IPL. The BCCI has started this preparation a few months ago by handing over the command of the T20 team to Hardik Pandya. After this year’s IPL, BCCI is looking to have more and more new players in the main T20 squad.
less likely
Looking at the speed with which things are happening and new players are coming in IPL, it is clear that next year a new team will play T20 World Cup for India. Also Rohit Sharma and K.K. The chances of L Rahul getting a chance are slim. Currently, Shubman Gill is being seen as India’s permanent opener across all formats. Also, with the performance of Yashasvi Jaiswal in this year’s IPL, he can play as a good opening batsman in the Indian team. In the form of success, the selectors have got a new option.
What do BCCI officials say
The chances of Rohit and Rahul getting a chance in the main T20 squad are slim, but nothing concrete can be said as of now, a BCCI official said while talking to ‘InsideSports’. “Those players will be backed who are talented. His talent is very important for the Indian team. The way Yashasvi Jaiswal is playing in domestic tournaments and IPL, he can definitely be considered. But at the same time, it is a bit early to think that Rahul and Rohit will not get a chance.
Eyes on Yashasvi, Rohit’s poor form
Rohit Sharma is not doing well at the moment and there are concerns about his form. Rohit has so far scored 17 runs per match at an average of 17 runs at a strike rate of 124 in 11 matches. Rohit has scored a total of 191 runs. Jaisava, on the other hand, has scored 575 runs in 11 matches at an average of 52 runs per match and a strike rate of 167. That’s why Yashasvi is being considered as the main contender as an opener. Yashasvi, who started the innings with a six off the very first ball in the last match, scored the fastest half-century of the IPL in 13 balls. While Shubham has scored 469 runs in each match at a strike rate of 144 at the rate of 47 runs.
Rahul’s good performance
K. L Rahul has been ruled out of IPL due to injury. But in the number of matches he played, his average was questioned. He scored 274 runs in 9 matches at a strike rate of 113. This strike rate is considered very moderate in T20. Therefore, on the basis of this performance, there is little chance of Rahul getting a chance.
Give Shubman and Yashasvi a chance
Rohit and Rahul will be busy preparing for the ODI World Cup to be held later this year. Therefore, the selectors can think of giving Shubman and Yashasvi a chance as openers on the tour of Ireland. If these two do well here, then Rohit and Rahul will be out of the team before the T20 World Cup and the selectors can retain the same pair as openers for the World Cup.
