This year the T20 World Cup 2022 will be played in Australia. All teams have started preparations in this regard. The Indian team is also playing the T20 series continuously. With these bilateral series, the team finalizes its preparations. Along with this, the management of the Indian team is also keeping an eye on the performance of the players. This will make it easier for selectors to choose the T20 template.
The selection of some players for the T20 World Cup is considered fixed. These include Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Dinesh Karthik, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, and Harshal Patel. At the same time, players who have performed well before the World Cup will have a place in the team. Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul can open the innings, while Virat Kohli can play at number three. As a wicketkeeper, Dinesh Karthik can get a place in the team. Apart from this, Pant, Iyer, Kishan, Samson may have a chance in the middle order.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma’s form is not going well these days. In 14 IPL 2022 matches, he scored 268 runs at an average of 19.14 and a strike rate of 120.17. During this he did not score a single half century. After this, Rohit was rested for the Africa series. He now he would like to regain the form lost in ODIs and T20Is against England.
KL Rahul can be seen opening the innings with Rohit Sharma at the T20 World Cup 2022. Rahul’s performance at IPL 2022 was excellent. He scored 616 runs in 15 games with an average of 51.33 and a strike rate of 135.38. During this he scored 4 half centuries and 2 centuries. KL recently underwent surgery for a growing injury in Germany.
Virat Kohli can be seen batting at number three at the T20 World Cup 2022. Kohli, however, has been struggling with his form for a long time. His performance at IPL 2022 was also poor. He scored 341 runs in 16 games with an average of 22.73 and a strike rate of 115.98. But the Indian team would definitely like to bring great players to a big stage like the World Cup.
Dinesh Karthik has recently put forward his claim for the 2022 T20 World Cup with his brilliant performance. Karthik played the role of finisher for RCB at IPL 2022. He scored 330 runs in 16 matches with an average of 55.00 and an impressive strike rate of 183.33. During this he also scored 1 half century.
Hardik Pandya can strengthen the Indian lower order in the T20 World Cup 2022. He can go all the way and score fast runs as well as have a fast bowling option. At IPL 2022, he made Gujarat Titans the winner under his captaincy.
Indian team captain Jasprit Bumrah is almost certain to get a place in the 2022 T20 World Cup squad for the latest Test against England. He will lead the Indian fast bowling. Against England, Bumrah is doing wonders with the ball and bat.
IPL 2021 Purple Cap winner Harshal Patel may be included in the T20 World Cup 2022. Harshal took 19 wickets in 15 IPL 2022 matches. During this, he spent runs with an average of 21.57 and a strike rate of 7.66. 34/4 was his best performance this season.
