Lucknow: Discussion regarding T-20 World Cup 2024 has already started. In this series, all the players are giving tough competition to each other to make their place in the World Cup team for India. In such a situation, KL Rahul, Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan, Rishabh Pant, Jitesh Sharma and experienced Dinesh Karthik are also included for the role of wicketkeeper. However, former New Zealand cricketer Scott Styris has revealed the name of the wicketkeeper who will be in India's World Cup team.

Actually, there is a constant discussion about Dinesh Karthik and there is talk of playing him in the marquee tournament. The biggest reason for this has been his excellent performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. Playing 8 matches, he has scored 251 runs with an average of 62.75 and an excellent strike rate of 196.09. In such a situation, there is talk of including him in the World Cup team. However, during the conversation on Jio Cinema, Styris has rejected all such possibilities.

He said, “During the commentary, I was asked who is the frontrunner for the role of wicketkeeper for India in the World Cup. This question was related to Dinesh Karthik. I think there is a little more than zero percent chance that Karthik will be included in the World Cup squad. “It is not about their ability but about the fact that they have many other options.”

The former Kiwi player further said that “India has to decide what they want. This also includes KL Rahul, who can bat in the top three. Apart from him you have Rishabh Pant, who can bat lower down the order. Apart from this, there is Sanju Samson, who can bat in the upper order.
