In addition, besides Virat Kohli, the selectors and management are also closely monitoring other players’ performances in the ongoing IPL 2024 to assess their form for potential selection in the T20 World Cup squad.
The upcoming T20 World Cup carries significant weight for Team India, particularly in light of their defeat in the previous home World Cup in India against Australia, despite their flawless performance in the league stage matches.
More than ten years have passed since Team India claimed the World Cup trophy, and in the past few years, they have experienced losses in the World Test Championship, as well as in both T20 and ODI World Cups.
