Top 5 Players left out of India’s T20 World Cup 2024 squad
1: Rinku Singh: The southpaw’s omission from the T20 World Cup squad raised a lot of eyebrows. In his 15 T20Is for India, Rinku had smashed 356 runs at an average and strike rate of 89 and 176.24 respectively. India will lack a specialist finisher in his absence.

However, he will not be carrying those responsibilities in this tournament, given that there are a bunch of batters stadking their claim at the top-three spots.

However, he did not make the cut for the final 15 and is instead named in the travelling reserves.

Over a course of time, India seems to have discovered others who can get going without having to take too many deliveries to get their eye in the middle in the shortest format of the international game.

However, promising performances by Yuzvendra Chahal in the IPL ensured that the seasoned star edged ahead of the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) leg-spinner. Bishnoi is in fact the fifth-best ranked T20I bowler in the world as per ICC rankings. (Image Source: Twitter)
