Sanju Samson, Prithvi Shah and Ishan Kishan were not included in the T20 World Cup squad despite their brilliant performances of late. With out-of-form Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik receiving criticism for playing in the tournament, fans point out that the young players have been spared for the survival of others including Rohit.
Many of the young players shone at first. If they reach the national team, the position of Rohit Sharma, Rahul etc. will be shaken. At present, young players only have a chance as substitutes in leagues where these senior players are not playing. Specialist T20 players who proved to be match winners were barred from the World Cup.
Pandya the captain, Prithvi and Sanju in the team, here is the probable team for the next World CupSanju has strike rate of 135 in T20I while Ishan played with strike rate of 131. Shaw has strike rate of 147 in IPL. But these three were not in India’s World T20 squad. Things would have turned out differently if these players had more opportunities in T20 internationals. Even after the World Cup, players like Pant, who did not prove their skills despite playing for a long time in the team, were given a place in the team.
The young players proved their mettle in the pre-World Series, in the West Indies at home to and against South Africa. However, when the World Cup squad was announced, they were nowhere to be seen. India’s two pacesetters, captain Rohit and KL Rahul failed in the World Cup. India also suffered a setback in the semi-finals due to lack of runs in the powerplay. Had it not been for Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya returning to form in time, India would have been eliminated without even making the semi-finals.
