Team announcement T20 World Cup 2024 live: Will Mayank Yadav get a chance?
Young Lucknow Super Giants pacer Mayank Yadav amazed everyone with his blazing pace in the ongoing IPL. The 21-year-old pacer has consistently clocked deliveries above 150 kmph. He also bowled the fastest ball of the season at 156.7 kmph. However, he is currently out due to an injury. Despite putting in a breathtaking performance, it is highly likely that he will be ignored as the selectors do not want to take the risk of taking a 21-year-old, inexperienced bowler to the big ICC event.

T20 World Cup 2024 Team Announcement Live: Who Will Join Jasprit Bumrah?
Another major concern for the Indians selectors is choosing a perfect pacer to accompany Jasprit Bumrah. The Mumbai Indians pacer is in red-hot form and will definitely make the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup. However, the other expected names like Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh, Avesh Khan, etc. had a disappointing performance so far. Some former cricketers have suggested the name Arshdeep, while many have backed Lucknow Super Giants pacer Mayank Yadav.

Team announcement T20 World Cup 2024 live: Focus on Hardik Pandya's form
The form of all-rounder Hardik Pandya is a major concern for the selectors at the moment. Hardik, who is leading Mumbai Indians in the ongoing IPL, is having an average performance with both bat and ball. So far he has played eight games and scored only 151 points. With the ball, he has scalped four wickets at an economy of 10.94. The MI skipper is also going through a tough time as he is constantly facing public criticism for replacing Rohit Sharma as captain. However, it will be very interesting to see how things will unfold.
