Race among 5 players for wicketkeeping in T20 World Cup, who will get the ticket to America?
- T20 World Cup 2024 will start from June 1
- It will be jointly organized in America and West Indies
- 5 players are in the race for the wicketkeeper's place in the team
The Indian team is preparing for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. According to media reports, BCCI can announce the Indian team in the last week of this month. But this decision will not be so easy for BCCI. The race is on as to which player will be included in the team as wicketkeeper for the World Cup. Team India has 5 options as wicketkeeper batsmen, who are performing brilliantly. In such a situation, the big question is that which of these 5 players can get a place in the team.
These 3 players may get a chance
The first player to appear in this list is Ishan Kishan, who plays for Mumbai Indians. BCCI may have canceled Ishaan's contract, but he is still in the race to join the Indian team as a wicketkeeper batsman. The reason for this is Ishaan's stormy batting. Ishaan has played 4 matches in this IPL season, in which he has scored runs at a strike rate of 170. In such a situation, he is also presenting a strong claim as a wicketkeeper batsman. Apart from this, the other player is Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson. Sanju is doing wonders in batting in this season of IPL. Sanju has also played 4 matches so far in this IPL season, in which he has scored 178 runs at a strike rate of 150.
RR players also run
India has a third player in the form of wicketkeeper batsman Dhruv Jurel. Dhruv Jurel also plays for Rajasthan Royals in IPL. He was included in the Indian team for the Test series against England. Meanwhile, Dhruv Jurel performed brilliantly. In such a situation, he is also claiming to join the Indian team. The fourth player is KL Rahul. Lucknow Super Giants captain KL Rahul is also involved in this race. Before the start of IPL, no one would have thought that Rahul's place in the Indian team was not confirmed. But nothing special is being seen from KL Rahul's bat in IPL. He has scored 126 runs in 4 matches at a strike rate of just 128. In such a situation, Rahul is also in the race whether he will be made a part of the Indian team or not.
Pant is the biggest contender
As the fifth player, the Indian team has the option of Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant. Pant is performing amazingly in this season of IPL. Pant is making a comeback after a long time after the accident. Pant has scored 153 runs at an excellent strike rate of 154 in the 5 matches played so far in this IPL season. In such a situation, Pant is being considered the biggest contender for this post. Pant's return in the T20 World Cup is considered almost certain. According to sources, it is being claimed that Rishabh Pant can be included in the team.
