Indian Batters’ Flop IPL Show After T20 World Cup Squad Announcement: Dube 0, Pandya 0, Rohit 4, Jadeja 2

India’s squad selection for the T20 World Cup 2024 was the biggest point of discussion until Tuesday evening when the BCCI made the official announcement. The Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee announced the team of 15, including 4 proper batters, 2 wicketkeepers, 4 allrounders, 2 wrist spinners and three spinners. A majority of experts have called it a balanced side; given the variety it has. But on the other hand, some high of profile figures from the squad have endured poorly low scores in their IPL outings immediately after the announcement was made.

As many as 5 players from the Indian squad have played an IPL match after the Indian cricket board made the announcement. On Tuesday evening, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) hosted the Mumbai Indians (MI) at Ekana Stadium and surprisingly, the MI, stars who will be flying to the West for the showpiece event later this month, could only muster 14 runs together.

Captain Rohit Sharma scored a 5-ball 4 while his deputy in the Indian side, Hardik Pandya was out for a golden duck. Suryakumar Yadav was out for a 6-ball 10.

The Chennai Super Kings, which have Ravindra Jadeja and Shivam Dube, were playing the Punjab Kings the following day at Chepauk and the duo was no different. The southpaw scored 2 off 4 balls while the fast-bowling all-rounder was undone for a 2-ball duck.
