While playing in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, players are keeping in mind the selection for the T20 World Cup. The performance in the IPL directly affects the chances of being added to the T20 World Cup squad. However, a few Indian players are failing to perform in the IPL, which will decrease their chances of making it into the Indian squad for the World Cup 2024.
5 players might not get selected in T20 World Cup squad for India
| Player | Role |
| Shreyas Iyer | Batter |
| KL Rahul | Batter |
| R Ashwin | Spinner |
| Mohammed Siraj | Pacer |
| Avesh Khan | Pacer |
Shreyas Iyer
Shreyas had a chance to put forward a strong performance to make a case for his inclusion in the T20 World Cup squad for India. However, he has been ordinary in the tournament, scoring 91 runs in four games with an average of 30.33.
KL Rahul
India has many options for wicketkeeper-batters in the T20 World Cup. Apart from KL Rahul, we have Rishabh Pant and Jitesh Sharma who could be picked. Rahul is an ideal player for ODIs, but his strike rate is not that impressive for the shorter format of the game.
Ravichandran Ashwin
Ashwin is a legendary spinner for India. However, he might not secure a place in the T20 World Cup squad. India will likely prioritize Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel in the shorter format of the game, as they have better stats compared to Ashwin.
Avesh Khan
Avesh Khan has taken five wickets in six matches. He has the least chance of making it to India’s side in the T20 World Cup.
Yashasvi Jaiswal
Yashasvi Jaiswal is an explosive opener India has found in recent years. However, his IPL 2024 performance so far has not been up to his usual standard. He has scored 102 runs in six matches at an average of 17.00.
