Hardik, Rahul excluded as Venkatesh Prasad delivers T20 World Cup message for Virat and Rohit.

There remains a debate over a number of players in the team, including the talismanic Rohit Sharma. The wicket-keeper’s spot is also wide open, with a number of players competing for the spot.

It’s only the wicket-keeper’s spot that Prasad isn’t clear about. “Shivam Dube for his striking ability against spinners, Surya for being the best T20 international batter and Rinku Singh for his exceptional finishing ability.

It will be great if India finds a way to have these 3 in the 11 in the T20 WC. With Virat and Rohit, this will leave a spot for just a keeper batsman.

Interesting to see how it pans out,” he posted on social media. Their poor form with the bat might be the reason behind Prasad’s lack of trust in them.

When it comes to Dube, Surya, and Rinku, fair to say that the trio’s expertise lies in T20 cricket. They have impressed many with their batting performances in the shortest format of the game.

It will be great if India finds a way to have these 3 in the 11 in the T20 WC. Their form and ability could be key to India’s hopes at the T20 World Cup this year.
