India’s Potential New T20 World Cup Vice-Captain in 2024 Alleged in Explosive Report

Pant made an impressive comeback in IPL 2024 after being out of action since his near-fatal car accident back in December 2022. On the other hand, Hardik Pandya has struggled – both as a batter and bowler – in the ongoing competition with many experts also questioning his ability to lead the star-studded Mumbai Indians side. “The national selectors, who are likely to meet on May 1, are expected to consider re-appointing Pant as vice-captain of India, a position he had held before being forced into a long injury hiatus after a near-fatal accident in December 2022.”

“Pant had even captained India in the five-match T20I series against South Africa in June 2022. For the record, he will be India’s first-choice wicketkeeper for the T20 World Cup in June.” the report stated.

Both cricketers have performed well in the IPL 2024 for their respective franchises and it can come down to the selectors’ preferences. It is unlikely that Yuzvendra Chahal, the highest wicket-taker in the IPL, will be considered,” it concluded. Topics mentioned in this article
