New Delhi. There has rarely been an edition of the ICC T20 Cricket World Cup in which the Indian team has not been considered a contender for victory. India also won the World Cup in 2007 during this period. But now this thing has become old. The reality is that apart from Rohit Sharma, there is not a single player in the Indian team who has been a part of the team that won the T20 World Cup. There are many players in the current team who have turned 35 years old and if they do not win the title this time, then their career may end without a trophy.
Kohli is a ‘King’ even without the T20 World Cup trophy
Virat Kohli is called King Kohli by his fans. From most runs (1141) in T20 World Cup, Virat holds many such records. This 35-year-old Indian star does not have the T20 World Cup crown on his head. After 2024, the next T20 World Cup is to be held in 2026. By then Virat will be 37 years old. The kind of fitness required in T20 cricket always gives priority to youth. In such a situation, it cannot be said with full confidence today that Kohli will get a chance in the Indian T20 team of 2026. Kohli has been a member of the team that won the ODI World Cup in 2011.

Ravindra Jadeja does not have a single World Cup trophy to his name
Like Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja is also 35 years old. Virat has won the ODI World Cup, but Jadeja has not won any World Cup in any format. Jadeja’s fitness has been excellent. But it is also true that he has been out of the team many times due to injury. In such a situation, this is considered to be the last chance for Jadeja to win the T20 World Cup.
Chahal’s first chance could be his last
Yuzvendra Chahal’s situation is more interesting than that of Kohli and Jadeja. Kohli-Jadeja may never have been a part of the T20 World Champion team, but at least both of them have played in this tournament many times before. On the other hand, Yuzvendra will play his first T20 World Cup in 2024 and this may also be his last World Cup. Yuji is 33 years old. There is tough competition among spinners in the Indian team. Yuji has felt this very closely in 2022, when he did not get a chance to play a match despite being a member of the T20 World Cup team. In such a situation, he is not going to miss any chance to play and win the World Cup in 2024.
