Former cricketer Gautam Gambhir believes that the performance of Indian players in domestic events should determine which players are selected for the Indian teams. Based on the players’ IPL performances, he believes the T20 squads should be chosen.
June 2, 2024, is when the long-awaited T20 World Cup is scheduled to begin. Indian supporters are excitedly awaiting the next major competition after the Indian Premier League. Sadly, the Indian cricket team lost to Australia in the finals of the ODI World Cup despite being undefeated throughout. With any luck, the Men in Blue will raise the trophy once more.
Regarding India’s World Cup team and how they ought to perform in the competition, numerous experts have offered their insights. Former cricket player Gautam Gambhir, one of these experts, has also shared his opinions on how the teams ought to be chosen.
In line with Vijay Hazare’s recommendations, the ODI team should also be chosen. However, the selection of the Test team will be based on the performances of elite cricket players.
In an open discussion with Ravichandran Ashwin on his Kutty series on YouTube, the fiery Gambhir expressed his thoughts. Concerns have been raised over certain players’ selection and rejection in the run-up to the ICC T20 World Cup.
“You can only choose the IPL T20 team. Choosing your 50-over side while watching the T20 or IPL is never a good idea. Your focus will change if domestic players begin discussing how they can be picked for the IPL from first-class cricket, according to Gautam Gambhir.

In keeping with his explanation, Gautam Gambhir warned the younger players that they would be in danger if they took similar shortcuts. According to him, these young athletes need to be balanced in all aspects if they are to succeed and make a valuable contribution to Team India.
“India should choose its T20 team for the World Cup and the IPL.” For the Vijay Hazare Trophy, a fifty-over format ought to be chosen. Additionally, first-class cricket players should be chosen for your Test team. As easy as it can be. You are creating a lot of shortcuts for a lot of young players if you start choosing guys in a 50-over format, said Gambhir.
