IPL 2022: No Ishan Kishan as Wasim Jaffer picks 4 openers for T20 World Cup in Australia- check out
He feels in-form Prithvi Shaw and CSK’s Ruturaj Gaikwad should be part of the T20 World Cup India squad.
“I feel Prithvi Shaw should be in the World Cup T20 squad and there could be an outside chance for Ruturaj Gaikwad even though his IPL form has not been up to the mark but, I feel we need to persist with Ruturaj Gaikwad because he is a really big talent,” Jaffer told CricTracker.
- DC’s Prithvi Shaw has emerged as the first-choice reserve owing to his batting exploits and super-fast paced innings.
- CSK’s Ruturaj Gaikwad has improved his tally for the second part of IPL features an unbeaten 99. He remains the second contender for the T20 World Cup.
- Ishan Kishan has the worst strike rate and failed to play consistently well at the top for Mumbai Indians.
- Shikhar Dhawan has the best average but he is quite slow to start off his innings. He will also face an age issue during the selection for the showpiece event.
