T20 World Cup 2024: 10 Things We Learned From Rohit Sharma & Ajit Agarkar’s Press Meet | The Quint 

They are making team like I do in dream 11. Select the popular ones and win nothing.. 😂

If everyone thinks this team is not good enough then this is the best team to go for World Cup

Pace attack apart from bumrah very ordinary and we could be in for a lot of pain going forward.

The selectors need to be selected first.

Selectors always believe in past performance and veterans and not on present form. 20/20 changed a lot of late. Now it is swift action, brilliant fielding, and accurate bowling. So no Rinku, no Natarajan, no Gaikwad. All seniors will perform like pedestrians! Windies also will do well.

Why not Nattu why not he get a chance since 2021 against Australia series after performing so well, the yorker king Nattu❤😢

Ravi vishnoi and Rinku Singh, Natrajan Miss you ❤😢

Squad look strong but they can. Go more strong squad

Instead of jadeja and siraj , should have taken Natarajan and Rinku

“Virat Kohli’s strike rate, we have not been discussing yaar”. I really hope this doesn’t come back to bite us in the butt

There is 2 options selectors had one completely new players like 2007 WC, another send a popular name squad, They go with popular name squad. Both have winning percentage 60:40 hence team is not matter performance matters, every player playing to their potential make team strong. We cannot say anything now as they said

Both Rinku and Gill have long careers to serve the nation, but selectors must show the courage to create space for younger generations to take over the places of Rohit and Virat. Need to see beyond since nobody is indispensable.

Meanwhile Ruturaj Gaikwad from the corner🥲

Jadeja will play a massive role in this worldcup I can see everyone’s asking why is jadeja selected but he will be there when team needs him

1 thing I learned..this squad looks like RCB 2.0😂🤣...fully rely on batting 😂🤣

Sab mein terrific.....

It's a very good and balanced side provided everyone Steps up

Overall i am just surprised with selection of Hardik Pandya and not selecting Rinku Singh... Rest all are good choices and balanced ..

In place of jadeja,rinku should include

Noone is taking about Abhishek Sharma, He could be a game changer the way he is batting right now, minimum 60-70 runs powerplays easily if he remain notout during those overs, and specially would be very helpful on slow wickets.

My 11 would be Rohit, Virat, Sanju, Surya, Dubey, Hardik, Jadega, Axar, Arshdeep, Bumrah, Chahal Try getting 2 overs from Dubey if required and against right handed heavy top 6, play Chahal and left handed heavy 6 play Kuldeep

There would always be outside noise especially when the team announcement is done amidst the IPL.

Honestly for the first time, I am satisfied with team selection. Rinku isn't a bowler, thats the problem. You need 7 batsman and 6 bowlers. They need to have 2 all-rounders. So axar-jadeja, hardik-dubey been selected. India doesn't have many options for allrounder. KL rahul has done wonderful keeping in 50 over worldcup. 20 over keeping is way lot easier. He could have been a keeper option. But they feel sanju is more versatile than KL. While KL has proven ,how much versatile he is over the years . Playing at almost every down. But in test or one day. Not in t20s. It has to be anyone. Both are teriffic batters. I thought yashawi will not be there. But its seems like they have already decided to keep him as opener before IPL. Well! He gives left right combination and has different style of batting. There has been no impact sub concept. Otherwise Rinku would be there. I am very happy ,they kept 4 spinners in options. As most of the games of India is in Windies and its going to be a day game. Dew would not be a factor. Ball will grip. Those bouncy pitches. If ball turns. Its deadly for opposition.

There should be elections on an app for selecting the selectors

More than anything else I don’t understand the need to select Axar see unless Jaddu is injured there is no need to play him in the team given that you play only two alrounders in squad and they play Hardik for sure. Rinku Singh needed to be in place of Axar and it seems to be more of Jay Shah’s recommendation than Rohit’s decision

No way we can win the cup with this team. BCCI should take some tough challenges and pick the team. why we need Hardik? he is simply recommendation guy. It is very clear that Jay Sha is behind Hardik selection. No way this team will lift the cup.

Sandeep sharma is far better in t20’s than siraj. Consistently performing since many years in ipl. No one gives him a chance in national team.

Ajit Agrarkar looking much fitter than rohit 😂😂

Rohit Sharma once in blue moon performer. No way we can win T20 world cup. Also bowling attack very weak

Encourage nitesh reddy these kind of players are required for indian cricket groom him take him india A as hardik fitness is big concern.

01:10, Rohit be like : Badhiya banaya hai, 1:19 We all have been there.

just a smile of rohit sharma gives ans for virat kohli strike rate

Rohit - Rinku ka selection isliye nahi hua q ki wo Virat Kohli ka bat mang Raha tha tho Kohli Bhai ne complain kar di isko playing squad me le liya tho Mera sare bat Gaya aur Rohit ne socha saale ye sirf Kohli ka bat mangta hai mujhe mangta tho selection ho jata 😂😂😂 But Rinku is the most deserving player sad we have not in team india ,it's india team loss

We keep hearing IPL form being mentioned here and there. If IPL was considered, then why was Gaikwad ignored and why was Siraj picked. Looks like the wait keeps growing more and more for a ICC trophy.

India should go with this combination in upcoming world cup for knockouts Virat Kohli Rohit Sharma Rishabh pant Surya Kumar yadav Shivam dube Hardik pandya R jadeja Axar patel Kuldeep yadav Bumrah Arshadeep Open with axar patel with bumrah and use axar in powerplay I know jaishwal is a talent but if we go with virat kohli opening it would be a better for india otherwise if we go conservatively then semifinal knockout again😮

Ashwin anna had to be there, he deserved .

Ajit Aagarkar be like :- ..... Terrific..... 😅

The only players who will perform this T20 world cup will be YASHASVI, SANJU SAMSON, SHIVAM DUBEY & BUMRAH

I wish sanju Samson gets chance to play.

fearlessnes is what has been lost in the Indian team. sehwag, yuvraj, dhoni, gambir, raina were fearless and were never bothered about their own records. The only person in the present team who is fearless is Kohli. Everybody else get shit scared in the semis or finals. Rohit Sharma' final match averages are below 10. Kl Rahul and Shikar dawan has the same average in finals.

To everyone who questions hardhik ,virat, rohit & few others selection. Areyy yaar look at the Australian squad. They trust their players and their experience. Unlike indian cricket fans who became selectors in comment sections with zero knowledge.

This team suit to ply test match nt t20

Who would explain about Ruturaj Gaikwad?

Why siraj why not sandip sharma

kkr and gambhir totally destroyed Rinku's form by not making him play like csk did with dube ! Dube would not have been in travelling reserves as well if the team had been selected before ipl,but the lack of clarity in rinku's role in kkr really messed his form and his chances in to wx squad ! the guy averages 80 in t20 !! with SR over 170

11th thing I learnt is if you are not from Mumbai your chances of getting into the team are lower like Rinku Singh

Haregi team Iss bar... Bahot ganda. Chance hi nai hai.. Lekin opposition ki 😎 apni team is the best team.. And sure we will get good game in the world cup 🔥🔥

It would have been something to see bumrah and natarajan in death bowling 😢

No way this team can challenge any major icc team

I'm sure India is going to come back empty-handed as usual. We can only hope India doesn't exit in an embarrassing way like last T20 WC. The 2 star cricketers whose individual interest & their ego + stardom have cost India 2 WTC finals + 1 ODI WC + 2024 T20 WC. Perhaps after this WC exit, Agarkar & his team get the required courage to stand up to those 2 superstars & say "enough is enough", we would like to look beyond you guys & give opportunities to most deserving youngsters. Not sure if this T20 WC failure is enough to overcome the importance attached to those superstars or we have to wait till next T20 or even next ODI WC exit.

Why nobody is talking about Ruturaj Gaikwad

********* Honest Interview Answers **************** Q1. Why was Rink Singh not selected? Ans --> He doesn't play for popular franchise like RCB, MI or CSK, we only pick players from this quota, we dropped the death over specialist Natarajan because he plays for Hyderabad, no body gives a sh*t about Hyderabad, we're looking for insta models, Rinku is just a cricketer picking him makes no sense Q2. Virat Kholi's strike rate isn't a concern? Ans --> No it's not a concern, he has 250+ million followers do you have any idea the amount of viewership and money he brings. BCCI needs money, Good cricket and winning ICC tournaments is our last priority. As you see Vada Pav is smiling acting all cool, but once he faces real cricketing team like Australia or New Zealand his blue pant will turn yellow and he'll be crying in the corner and he'll have the similar face he had in Kapil Sharma show Q3. Faith on Irreplaceable Hardik Pandya Ans --> First of all I'm a shameless piece of sh*t to say Hardik is irreplaceable in a 140 million population cricketing playing nation, more over he's a captain of Ambani team who runs the circus IPL so it's a no brainer to drop him. I'm selector on papers in real I'm Hardik's personal slave, in fact Ambani is the one who got me this job, I'm just showing my faith to my master like a obedient dog Q4. What makes Shivam Dube an X factor Ans --> It saddens me to admit he's one of those who was picked purely on talent and performance, it was a heavy decision, and also if we loose we need a scapegoat to blame since Vadapav, Chokli, Harpic all have strong PR team we need few poor souls to put the blame on Q5. Why was KL Rahul not picked? Ans --> Because he forgets to bring his balls in important matches and looks painfully pathetic with a bat in hand Q6.Rohit not fazed by losing Mumbai Indian's captaincy Ans --> That's a du*b question, he was not even fazed after loosing finals of the world cup do you think something like this will hurt him? he's soft and absorbent like the bread in Vadapav, no matter how much pudina chutney you put on the pav it'll absorb, just like Rohit absorbs all the criticism Q7. Never any doubt about who will lead India? Ans --> How does it matter? I already told you BCCI is a cricketing body on papers, in reality it's a modelling agency, we take talented cricketers and turn them into models give them a highly qualified PR team build their fan base all around the world so we can make money become the richest board and bully other cricketing boards. In India everyone is talented but that's not important for us Q8. The Reason behind selecting 4 spinners? Ans --> To be honest it was not our original plan, but this Chahal has been a real pain in the a**, we ignored him for so many years thinking he'll loose heart and stop performing, but he never stopped, and if we didn't pick him this time cricketing fans would have known about our business model, so to save our a**es we had to pick Chahal, I'm not a big fan of Chahal but to be honest again if Chahal was born in any other nation he would be a legend by now, but it's India you know what we do to the talented people (evil smile) Q9. Why is there no off spinner in the team? Ans --> Boring, next question Q10. The Indian team still values experience? Ans --> Looks at these clowns faces and look at Rohit's tummy, these jokers couldn't win sh*t in 13 years do you think their experience really matters? They're here because between them we have close to 300 million instagram followers, which is very good for our business, bring someone more popular them these 2, the very next second you'll see a farewell Paytm trophy organised for them against Bangladesh

4:28 rohit saying 'not going your way' when he refers to losing MI captaincy - again a proof to poor transfership of power ajd handling by the management

So, all things is, they are considering only IPL performance to select the squad... mostly they mentioned that they were good in IPL

Shubham Gill ? Wtf has he done to be in reserves

Will this Team win the trophy or make records

Rinku is the only player who has shades of good finisher and proved in the few matches he played for India and this time selectors are wrong and going without a finisher

Why hardik was picked..I fail to understand andbthat too as a VC

99% people know the outcome. If there is one post/ job & 10 crore applicants- u can see 9.9 crore people pray request to God. 1/10 crore chance.

why 4 spinners?

Why anyone didn't question Rohit's form and his previous t20 worldcup innings?is he apart from that clause

Hardik ko kyu liya na wicket na runs Ur yeh team jeetega ipl 😂😂😂

Instead of Rohit Sharma and Arshdeep singh, we should taken Rituraj and Nattu 😮😮😮

And here we all thought the IPL is not a factor for the Indian team selection 😂

My question is what kind of balance does Hardik provide to team if he is not performing in both department 😂

Dhoni has shown India that team needs young players with good captain which current Indian team lacks. I bet that they will not qualify for semis. Surya is not big game player and same with Rohit .

There should be X ray of team India also. Reservation should also be given for selecting the players so that all sections are represented.

Why jadeja is included

Senseless selection you don't have guts to send youngsters in t20 format how many years rohit kohli play 0 icc trophies atleast you should have chosen natraj sandeep sharma avesh over siraj he is predominantly test bowler not t20 and arshdeep is waste in all formats why axar jadeja same skill set players.

Why does this man looks like the Ellen show host ??

To get into the team you need to look stylish and have a swag like hardik and sky. Only then people will select you even if you absolutely suck.. Ruturaj and rinku are introverts.. so they dont get any chance. They should go to a good barber and then do over action in the cricket field. All of a sudden they become the most wanted players.

I don't know how rishabh pant is justified

Be ready for another heartbreak

They knew this world cup is coming many months ago... Why not prepare a proper batting order n bowling unit... Rather than mix n match at last minute.. Fast bowling lacks penetration ..poor planning by selectors, captain, coach.... They are cooking a last minute combination... With all talk of 10 team ipl n so many players playing .. This is a shame that it had to come down to last minute to know the squad... Look at Aussies for an example !

Mark my words india will not ready for t20 wc 😢

Jadeja, Axar, Siraj, Surya and Dube are poor pick.. India will struggle because of these guys.

Well prepared answers for the pre-known questions...😂

You said the same thing during 50 over World Cup, let’s see what will happen

why is ajit agarkar wearing 2 watches ??

Why is Rohit Sharma in the team?

V miss KL RAHUL

Rohit Sharma & Virat Kohli are the Problem.They want to continue in 20-20 World Cup.For them Juniors are not able to be in the team.

Why no DK 😂

We don't have an off spinner on the team 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️.

Kis hisab se rohit ko captain banaya gaya ha ? hamlog already 3 icc tournaments haar chuke ha under his captaincy, inke ghar ki selection ha guys, jiska man karega wo hi khelega, fans, deserving players kuch bhi matter nahi karta, khud hi dekh lo same hi team khelti ha har baar

....

Kl toh opner h na

Corrupted !!!

Semi final me Jake har na mat

Weakest link 1) poor fast bowling attack.( Only Bhumra rest are very very ordinary bowlers) * kuldeep & yezvendar need to bowl in the fast 6 overs than who will bowl in last 6 overs with Bhumra. If india need to bowl -- Hardik & sivam Duvey in last 4 overs than there is no hope. *Australia/ England/ Newzealand/ Pakistan/ south Africa --- wil be playing with 5 genuine witcket taking bowlers. But India will play with -- 3 bowlers 1) Bhumra 2) kuldip 3) yezvendar ( Hardik, shivam , siraj, Arshdeep, -- nightmare for team india if they bowl in last 10 overs )

Bumrah is more deserving VC

Siraj ko bhi lelyia itna ghatia bowling karraha hai IPL mein

Hardik, sky, Jadeja, Axar, Arshdeep all needed to be scrapped. Shittiest possible combo for a team. Gujarat-Mumbai influence in selecting a national side… Terrible.

Why jadeja 😅😅😅

KL Rahul😢

I dont think india will won this wc2024......

Why three k2a why we want secular even in Pakistan there is no secularism

Shivam dube will failed miserably in this tournament and he’s not very brilliant bowler so of course he got selected as a batter not as all rounder they’re making same mistake what they made in back 2021 WC where they selected Venkatesh Iyer and Varun Chakraborty on the basis of IPL performance. Rinku is far better hitter and batter than Shivam.

Samson and Pandya are the weak links.

Happy defeat in advance
