Some questions were raised over the announcement of India’s squad for the T20 World Cup 2024, while most experts believe that it is a balanced squad. The selection committee led by Ajit Agarkar announced a squad of 15 and four traveling reserves. The selectors have chosen 4 proper batsmen, 2 wicketkeepers, 4 all-rounders, 2 wrist spinners and three frontline pacers. However, the exclusion of explosive batsman Rinku Singh and leggy Ravi Bishnoi has been the biggest talking point since the team was announced on Tuesday.

Wicketkeeper-batsman KL Rahul was another player who missed out on selection, while young opener Shubman Gill only made it to the traveling reserves list, which also included Khaleel Ahmed, Rinku Singh and Avesh Khan.

After the announcement of the team, seven players of the team have performed for their respective teams in the current season of IPL.

On Tuesday, soon after the team announcement, captain Rohit Sharma, his deputy Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav and star paceman Jasprit Bumrah featured for Mumbai Indians against Lucknow Super Giants.

A day later, Arshdeep Singh of Punjab Kings came against CSK, who had players like Ravindra Jadeja and Shivam Dubey.

Rohit Sharma scored 4 runs in 5 balls (LSG vs MI)

Suryakumar Yadav scored 10 off 6 balls (LSG vs MI)

Hardik Pandya was out for zero, but took two wickets for 26 runs (LSG vs MI)
