IPL 2024 is currently going on in the country. IPL is also considered a rehearsal for the World Cup. The national team will be selected on the basis of performance in this tournament.

Since India is full of talented players, it is a tough test to select 14-15 players in the team. In such a situation, tension has increased between Ishan Kishan and KL Rahul regarding the form of Dinesh Karthik. Let’s take a look at the 5 cricketers involved in the race for wicketkeeper in the Indian team-

Rishabh Pant, who has recovered from the road accident, has also returned from the race. He is keeping wickets. Apart from this, Rishabh has also scored 194 runs in 6 matches so far in the tournament. This includes two half-centuries of Rishabh. Also, his good thing is that he is scoring runs at a strike rate of 153.

Dinesh Karthik is playing the role of a dangerous finisher for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). DK scored 83 runs in 35 balls against SRH and 53 runs in 23 balls against Mumbai. So far he has scored 226 runs in 6 out of 7 innings. DK can play the role of finisher in the World Cup.

Lucknow’s captain wicketkeeper Lokesh Rahul is batting well this season also. He has scored 204 runs in 6 matches at an average of 34. This also includes a half-century from Rahul. But with a strike rate of 139, this could be a matter of concern for him compared to others.

Among the young players, Ishan Kishan’s bat is blazing well. Mumbai Indians opener Ishan has played 6 matches so far, in which he has scored 184 runs at an average of 31. His strike rate is also 178.64. But Ishaan has been able to score only one half-century so far.

Rajasthan captain Sanju Samson is also in good form this year. He has scored 264 runs in 6 innings at an average of 66. It includes 3 half-centuries. Also his best performance is 82 runs unbeaten. In such a situation, considering the performance and age, Sanju Samson is also considered a strong contender for a place in the team.
