NDTV
There was no place for Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya or Shivam Dube in Sanjay Manrjekar's 15-member India squad for T20 World Cup 2024.
Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar made some surprising additions and omissions as he named his 15-member squad for India's T20 World Cup 2024 campaign. With the deadline for the team selection only a few days away, fans and experts have been bold in sharing their opinions on the subject. After the likes of Irfan Pathan and Virender Sehwag shared their picks for the 15-man roster, Manjrekar has also submitted his squad. Shockingly, the cricketer-turned-commentator snubbed the talismanic Virat Kohli from the list and named Lucknow Super Giants all-rounder Krunal Pandya in the team.

Manjrekar went with the likes of Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal at the top of the batting order while Sanju Samson and Suryakumar Yadav made the cut in the top 4. A total of three wicket-keepers were included in Manjrekar's 15, with Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul also earning a spot each, together with Samson.
Among all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Krunal Pandya were the only picks in Manjrekar's 15, with there being no place for pace-bowling all-rounders Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube.
Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal were the two picks from the perspective of pure spinners while Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj made the cut as marquee pacers.
