To choose the team for the T20 World Cup, which will be hosted in the USA and the West Indies in June, the Indian selectors will meet with Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid this week. Though a few have already taken them, there is still a lot of discussion about the available places.
India has been making it to the ICC tournament knockout stages regularly, but they haven’t taken home a trophy since winning the Champions Trophy in 2013. India lost to Australia in the World Cup final and the World Test Championship final in 2023.
Given their advanced age and the rise of youthful talent, this may be the last chance for seasoned players like skipper Rohit Sharma and batting great Virat Kohli to win the T20 championship.
