India’s T20 World Cup Squad: KL Rahul Out, 2 Big Names Sent To Reserves, Surprises!

In the recent past, Rahul was considered a versatile option for the team, able to open the batting, play as a wicket-keeper, and slot into the middle-order. However, both Rahul and Rinku found themselves in the reserves list, meaning they would only join the squad in case of injury or a change in strategy. Gill has been a standout performer for the Indian cricket team across formats in the past year, while Rinku was seen as the much-needed finisher for India due to his impressive form in IPL 2023.

However, the emergence of new talents and a change in team dynamics caused both players to miss out on their spots in the squad, as selectors opted for more specialized options. Furthermore, both players have not performed exceptionally in the ongoing IPL 2024, and their past reluctance to play domestic cricket has not helped their cause.
