This year’s IPL has been surprising for the fans. On one side big players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, Jadeja, and Siraj have not really stood up to the expectations. While on the other side, players like Abhishek Sharma, Ayush Badoni, and Umesh Yadav have been surprisingly well. Team India will participate in the T20 World Cup this year in Australia, with such great performances from so many players, the competition is high. However, here are 5 players likely to be a part of the T20 World Cup squad based on IPL performances.
5 players likely to be the part of the T20 World Cup squad
Dinesh Karthik
Dinesh Karthik’s performances this year at the IPL have been magnificent. Grabbing the opportunity with both hands, DK has done justice to the role of a finisher he was given. It certainly seems like he is in the form of his life. Dinesh Karthik’s super solid striking and in-depth understanding of the game makes him the top choice for selection.
Umesh Yadav
KKR pacer Umesh Yadav has just revived himself in the T20 format. After being benched by Delhi Capitals, his former IPL team, Yadav, grabbed this opportunity well and how. Umesh has been a leading wicket-taker for his new franchise. Additionally, he is also contributing some quick runs with the bat too.
T. Natrajan
T Natarajan was briefly a member of the Indian team in all three formats but suffered a setback due to injuries last year. However, with his performance in the IPL 2022, he has made it difficult for the selectors to ignore him. His excellent performance has been a significant part of Sunrisers Hyderabad’s (SRH) extraordinary recovery. He is a strong contender for a spot in that squad due to his mastery of the yorkers at the back end.
Rahul Tripathi
Team India has been in dire need of a solid middle-order batter. Rahul Tripathi provides exactly what the team needs. His flexibility to switch from anchor to attacker reading the situation could prove to be helpful for team India. Tripathi has been one of the most destructive amongst the batters in IPL 2022 and one of the most reliable ones for SRH.
Kuldeep Yadav
Although he had a promising start to his career, the spinner had to experience the humiliation of being dropped not only from the National team but from the IPL team too. However, with the support of his new team, the Delhi Capitals, Kuldeep may be able to put that behind him. This IPL season could be the springboard for Kuldeep Yadav’s comeback to the Indian XI.
