Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar made some surprising additions and omissions while announcing his 15-member squad for India’s T20 World Cup 2024 campaign. With the team selection deadline being just a few days away, fans and experts are taking courage in sharing their opinions on the topic. After players like Irfan Pathan and Virender Sehwag shared their choices for the 15-man roster, Manjrekar has also presented his team. The surprising thing is that this cricketer turned commentator removed the charismatic Virat Kohli from the list and included Lucknow Super Giants all-rounder Krunal Pandya in the team.
Manjrekar went to the top of the batting order with the likes of Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal, while Sanju Samson and Suryakumar Yadav made it to the top 4. Manjrekar’s 15 included a total of three wicketkeepers, including Rishabh Pant and KL. Along with Samson, Rahul also earned one place each.
Among all-rounders, Ravindra Jadeja and Krunal Pandya were Manjrekar’s only choices in the 15, while there was no place for fast-bowling all-rounders Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube.
From a pure spinners’ perspective, Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal were the two choices, while Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj made it as the marquee pacers.

“Yes. And maybe this is Kuldeep Yadav at his peak in terms of his skills, his confidence. Now you can see he is like a Bumrah or a Chahal at their peak. He is getting that kind of respect. He Looks to be comfortable with the responsibility and champion, you know, those breaks and those moments that you’re looking for at the right time.”
Avesh Khan and Mayank Yadav also earned a place each in Manrekar’s team.
