In the 38th match of IPL 2024, on Monday, Rajasthan Royals defeated Mumbai Indians by 9 wickets. With this, RR has almost confirmed its place for the playoffs. If MI has to make it to the final playoffs, it will have to win most of its matches. Sandeep Sharma was the hero of Rajasthan Royals' victory in the match played on Monday. With this he has strengthened his claim for T20 World Cup 2024.
Shami is out of the team
Indian team's star fast bowler Mohammed Shami has recently undergone knee surgery. Because of this he is not playing the 17th season of IPL. There is no official information yet on whether Shami will play in the T20 World Cup starting after IPL 2024 or not. Shami is currently undergoing rehab. Meanwhile, the Indian team has got Shami's place. Sandeep Sharma can make a place in the Indian team for T20 World Cup 2024.
Bumrah-Siraj's situation fixed!
The place of fast bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj in the Indian team for the World Cup was considered almost certain. In such a situation, Sandeep can take the place of the third fast bowler. Apart from Sandeep, selectors can also consider the name of Arshdeep Singh. However, he has not been able to impress much in IPL 2024 so far. Whereas the selectors will rarely think of the name of Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
Sandeep Sharma is bowling well
Sandeep bowled brilliantly against Mumbai Indians on Monday. He spent only 18 runs in his quota of 4 overs at an economy rate of 4.5 and took 5 wickets. He made Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Verma, Tim David and Gerald Coetzee his victims. Sandeep has bowled in 3 matches so far in IPL 2024. During this period, he has taken 6 wickets at an average of 12.66 and economy of 6.90.
