On what will Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma’s playing in T20WC 2024 depend, Sanjay Manjrekar told

Suspense continues on what is the future of Team India’s two senior players Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the shortest format of cricket. Both these players are not playing in T20 format for India after T20 World Cup 2022. Both the players had requested not to play in the limited overs format for the South Africa tour and the BCCI accepted their request. Now T20 World Cup 2024 is to be organized next year and about 6 months are left for it and the question is whether both the players will play in it.

World Cup team should be selected on the basis of form

However, according to some media reports, Rohit Sharma can captain Team India in the T20 World Cup 2024, but Virat Kohli’s place in the team is not being made due to Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal and BCCI will talk to him on this matter. , But amidst all this, former Team India player Sanjay Manjrekar told whether Rohit Sharma and Kohli can play in the next T20 World Cup or not. While talking on Star Sports, Manjrekar said that any decision on these two should be taken when the tournament comes closer and their form should be seen.

Sanjay Manjrekar said that who knows what is going to happen in life and I don’t know what is going to happen tomorrow. I believe that the approach regarding this should be very simple. We’ve played a lot of world taxes, and haven’t been able to win them. Manjrekar believes that the team for this prestigious tournament should be selected on the basis of the form of the players as the World Cup approaches. He said that in the final stages of the T20 World Cup, we are probably playing a slightly different cricket and when something goes out of your hands, make it simple. Select team based on form closer to World Cup.

Manjrekar said it is important that Kohli continues to perform well in the shortest format of the game and stressed the need for the star batsman to perform well in the IPL. Kohli had scored 639 runs for RCB in IPL 2023 with the help of 2 centuries. However, Kohli’s strike rate, especially his performance against spin after the powerplay, has raised questions about his place in the team in the past. He will have to show that he is a better option for the young players than India captain Rohit Sharma and all-rounder Hardik Pandya.
