Yashasvi Jaiswal Dropped; Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma to Open for India in T20 World Cup 2024

Team India may opt for Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma as their opening duo in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024, leaving little room for Yashasvi Jaiswal to secure an opening spot or secure a spot in the playing 11.

Yashasvi Jaiswal, once riding high on a purple patch, saw a downturn in form during the IPL 2024 season, mustering only 121 runs from seven matches for the Rajasthan Royals at a strike rate of 145.

On the other hand, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, doing what they do best for RCB and Mumbai Indians, are on a rampage. The Indian management and selectors think it’s prime time to ride that wave into the T20 World Cup 2024.

Reportedly, if Yashasvi Jaiswal doesn’t step up in the tournament, there’s a chance he won’t make the cut for the T20 World Cup 2024 squad. This could pave the way for Rinku Singh to slot in as a finisher.
