Team India has recently announced its squad for the T20 World Cup 2024, which is slated to take place on June 1 in the West Indies and the USA. Notably, the squad has marked the surprise omission of some of the players, which is making bold headlines in the cricketing world.
There is no doubt that some of the great players have been left out of the squad despite having either great form in the current IPL season or previous international matches.
In the same vein, here are the top 3 unlucky cricketers who failed to get a place in the T20 World Cup 2024 squad.
1. KL Rahul
India’s star cricketer, KL Rahul, has been making bold headlines after he didn’t get the chance to be in the T20 World Cup 2024 squad. Notably, the LSG skipper seems to be in magnificent form and can bat at the top and middle of the order while keeping wickets. However, it seems that Team India already has a lot of openers and middle-order batters, while the side has preferred to go with Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson as the wicketkeeper batters.
2. Ruturaj Gaikwad
The CSK skipper seems to be in great form in the IPL 2024 and is the second-highest run-scorer of the marquee event behind Virat Kohli. However, despite that, the top-order batter wasn’t able to place himself in the reserve as well. Notably, it seems that Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal have impressed the selectors more as compared to him, which gives him no place in the IPL 2024. However, the great batter was looking into magnificent form in the T20I series against Australia, which took place right after the ODI World Cup 2023.
3. Tilak Varma
The youngster failed to place himself in the T20 World Cup 2024 squad despite having great form in the IPL 2024. Unfortunately, the stylish right-handed batter has not been in good form in the last few T20I series, which makes him ruled out of the World Cup. However, the 20-year-old batter still has a few matches to show his class once again for MI to get a place in the bilateral series after being left out of the T20 World Cup 2024 squad.
