Ishan Kishan, KL Rahul and Chahal included in India’s challenge for T20 World Cup tomorrow

The inclusion of twenty players, some of whom may come as a surprise, who the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) feels could be included in the Indian team for the T20 World Cup and its related competitions has been the subject of much consideration. A PTI report claims that, aside from certain tweaks here and there, players who have proven their form and skill may find themselves going to the Caribbean and the US for the prestigious T20 event, considering their IPL results.

According to the source, Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal are in a tie for a spot in the 15-man squad, and there is competition among other players for the second wicketkeeper’s spot. Of them, Rishabh Pant is probably the most to earn the position as first-choice goalie. Players like KL Rahul, Ishan Kishan, and Jitesh Sharma compete with Sanju Samson. Even though Jitesh was the Indian team’s favourite keeper in T20 cricket before to the IPL, he may wind up being the odd man out.

More About KL Rahul:

The story quotes a BCCI executive as saying, “There won’t be any left-field or experimental alternatives. There will be rewards for those who have consistently played well for India, in T20 internationals, and in the IPL.”

The positioning of other batsmen may also have an impact on the choice of wicketkeeper. For their respective IPL clubs, Rahul and Ishan have been opening, while Sanju is batting in the middle order and Jitesh and Pant are also possible candidates.

An additional point of The potential addition of a third spinner, with Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav holding the top two positions, is being discussed. Will India choose to select a leg-spinner in addition to Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravi Bishnoi, or may their batting brilliance make Axar Patel a starter? The next several days should be intriguing.

Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rinku Singh, Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, Sanju Samson, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Ravi Bishnoi, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh, and Avesh Khan are the 20 possible players for the T20 World Cup.
