The Indian T20 World Cup squad has been announced. There has been much speculation about the selection process of Shikhar Dhawan and Yuzvendra Chahal. How has team India not got a spot for these two senior players? Firstly, both of them are extremely talented. Secondly, they can add value to the squad in a shorter format. Unfortunately, they have missed out on an opportunity.
Well, the fans have been extremely disappointed because important players miss a spot. As a result, fans have been speculating and wondering the possible reason for his omission. “Shikhar is a very important player for us. Can’t disclose the discussion. He is in the loop. We thought the need of the hour was to look at others and rest him,” he said. Speaking of the same, India chairman of selectors Chetan Sharma revealed that the decision was taken to give Dhawan some rest. Twitter is in disbelief after Shikhar Dhawan was dropped from Team India for the T20 World Cup.
It is rather unfortunate that Yuzvendra Chahal has not got a spot in the India squad. Chetan Sharma clarifies, “We had a discussion over Yuzvendera Chahal and the selectors thought was we need a bowler, who can bowl fast, and as we have recently seen Rahul Chahar bowling, the speed that he bowls with, the selectors thought that we need such a player, who can on those wickets, can hold and more speed, and so, there was a lot of discussion about Chahal, but we zeroed on Rahul Chahar,” He further adds that the team will look for variation and someone who can take wickets. Hardik Pandya is chosen as a fourth bowler.
At least hoping that Shikhar Dhawan and Yuzvendra Chahal have a great IPL tournament! Best of luck!
