India’s T20 World Cup squad selection is heating up as the IPL 2024 season progresses, with players like Rishabh Pant and Shivam Dube making strong cases for their inclusion. Former India cricketers like Mohammad Kaif, Virender Sehwag, Irfan Pathan, and Suresh Raina have expressed support for Pant and Dube, highlighting their impressive performances in this year’s tournament.
The impact player rule introduced in IPL 2024 has generated mixed reactions from players and management. Some players, such as Axar Patel and Mukesh Kumar, have expressed concerns that the rule may hinder the growth of all-rounders and increase the likelihood of high scores. On the other hand, David Warner and Sourav Ganguly believe that the rule adds tactical complexity and allows teams to maximize their strengths. Ricky Ponting acknowledges that the rule may lead to higher scores but emphasizes that the entertainment value it provides may justify its continued use.
