Virat Kohli Set to be DROPPED from T20 World Cup Squad

G GOWTHAM
For virat kohli to be considered for the t20 world cup roster, he will need to perform really well in the IPL 2024. According to a source in the "Telegraph," the management feels that kohli has not been able to meet the demands of the squad in the shortest amount of time, thus the selectors are not eager to choose him for the t20 World Cup.
 
Although kohli hasn't played T20I cricket since the t20 world cup 2022, he and rohit sharma were selected for the afghanistan T20I series. Later, bcci secretary Jay Shah stated that rohit sharma will captain the t20 World Cup. When questioned about Virat Kohli's future in T20Is, though, he stayed silent.
 

According to the article, the bcci has given Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar control over Kohli's selection dilemma, not many people are prepared to get involved because it's such a sensitive issue. It is believed that Agarkar spoke with kohli on the crucial shift in strategy for Twenty20 Internationals, which kohli attempted to execute during the Twenty20 international series against afghanistan, but with limited success.
The management believes that kohli would not be comfortable with the slow wickets of the West Indies, thus Ajit Agarkar will persuade the veteran to create room for the younger players. The bcci believes that young players had far more to give than kohli in the T20I format, such Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Rinku Singh, and shivam Dube.
 

The report also indicates that KL rahul is the favorite to be named the wicketkeeper in the t20 world cup team, but the selectors are still unsure about his health. Jitesh Sharma won everyone over with his explosive batting in the limited Twenty20 Internationals he has played for india, while dhruv Jurel had an incredible Test series against England. The young players' performance in the indian Premier League will be closely monitored by the selectors, and a strong showing might lead to their inclusion in the t20 world cup roster.
 

By the first week of May, the interim teams for the t20 world cup must be submitted to the ICC. india, Pakistan, the United States, and canada are all retained in Group A. On june 5, india will begin their campaign against Canada. On june 9, they will play Pakistan; on june 12, the USA; and on june 15, Canada. Since ms dhoni guided the squad to victory in the ICC Champions Trophy in 2013, india has not taken home an ICC trophy.
