Currently, the excitement of IPL is going on in the country. T20 World Cup will be played immediately after IPL 2024. So this IPL is very special. The T20 World Cup team will be selected based on the performance in the IPL.

Similarly, a few days ago, it has come to light that a meeting was held between Team India's Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar, Head Coach Rahul Dravid and Captain Rohit Sharma. The World Cup team was discussed in this meeting.

Interestingly, in this meeting, there has been a discussion about whether Virat Kohli will get a place in the T20 World Cup or not. Also, Virat is currently in blistering form and has scored the most runs in this year's IPL so far. Also, it was made clear that he is available for the T20 World Cup.

Rohit-Kohli will play the opener

Dravid, Agarkar and Rohit discussed the squad for the World Cup in June at the BCCI headquarters in Mumbai last week. Since Virat is playing as an opener in IPL, there was a discussion to give Rohit and Virat as openers in the World Cup.

The problems of the two young batsmen will increase

However, in such a scenario, Yashasvi Jaiswal will be out of the playing XI. If Rohit-Virat will play the opener, one of Yashasvi and Shubman Gill will get the back-up opener in the team. Going by the current form and numbers, Gill can make it to the World Cup squad.

Also, the meeting also discussed about Rian Parag who performed brilliantly in this IPL. If he keeps up his form in the next few matches, he might even find a place in the 15-man squad.

Mayank Yadav's leaf cut

The name of young fast bowler Mayank Yadav, who has become a headache for the batsmen with his speed, was also discussed in this meeting, but his injury went against him. The selectors feel that including Mayank in the team could be a risky decision.

Focus on Hardik's bowling

In this meeting, it was explained that if Hardik Pandya wants to get a place in the team, he will have to perform amazing bowling in the remaining matches of the IPL. The selectors are of the opinion that Pandya will return to the team only if he continues to bowl well. Pandya has not bowled consistently in the IPL and has bowled in only 4 out of 6 matches.

Pandya has an economy rate of 12 and has taken only 3 wickets. He also failed to impress with the bat and managed to score only 131 runs in 6 matches. The selection committee, which keeps an eye on all the players in the IPL, has shown interest in replacing Hardik with left-arm all-rounder Shivam Dube as the fast bowling all-rounder.

All eyes on Shivam Dubey

Dubey's power-hitting against the fast bowlers bolsters the middle order, but the biggest problem with him is that CSK have used him as an impact player, giving him no chance to bowl. If he is selected in such a situation, how effective he will be in bowling is a matter of some concern.

Team India will be selected at the end of April

The selectors' meeting will be held at the end of April in which the 15-member Indian team will be selected. Not only this, it will also include 5 additional players, who will act as substitutes in case of injury to the players as it is not an easy task to send substitutes immediately to America and West Indies.
