India has to travel to Australia for the 2022 T20 World Cup exactly two months from now. The auditions are still on to make it to the last 15 for this mega event. The picture of the T20 World Cup is not completely clear from the team selected for the Asia Cup 2022. Meanwhile, cricket experts are giving their opinion as to how the team should be, who should be in, and who should be out.
Former India cricketer Ajay Jadeja is also included in this list, who has told before the fifth T20I match against West Indies what the Indian team’s playing XI should look like for the big tournament. Jadeja has selected four bowlers for his team, in which there are three pacers and one spinner. At the same time, he has said about Dinesh Karthik that he should sit with me and do commentary.
On Fancode, Jadeja said,
“I have included Shami in the team. I pick the bowlers first. So Shami is definitely there. Bumrah, Arshdeep and Chahal. These four are definitely there. For me in batting. Four are certain – Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, and Deepak Hooda. Looking at this bowling attack, you have the power to bowl, the middle overs and the death overs. Batsmen can bat anywhere.”
He further added,
“Now if you want to play the way I heard (offensive cricket), you have to choose differently. If Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma come, you need Dinesh Karthik at all costs. He is your insurance, but if you don’t have either then there is no work for Dinesh Karthik here.”
Jadeja said,
“Yes, I will not put Karthik there, he can take a seat next to me. He is very good as a commentator, but there, in the team, I will not pick him. Now the decision is you.” Want to play Ravindra Jadeja or characters. If Dhoni is the style, add Kohli, Rohit, and Karthik, but in modern cricket, you have to drop Karthik. Maybe even Kohli depends on whether he is in form or not “
