Rest for Main Team Post T20 World Cup 2024
With India’s main team taking a rest following their involvement in the T20 World Cup 2024, the squad for the Zimbabwe tour is comprised of promising young talent. This strategy aims to provide opportunities for emerging players.
IPL 2024-Winning Cricketer Reacts to Omission
A notable omission from the squad was IPL 2024-winning cricketer Varun Chakravarthy from Kolkata Knight Riders. Chakravarthy reacted to his exclusion with a hint of frustration, taking to Instagram to express his disappointment.
Varun Chakravarthy’s Instagram Reaction
Varun Chakravarthy, the crafty spinner for Kolkata Knight Riders, took to his Instagram story to voice his displeasure. He hinted at the possibility of selections being influenced by popularity rather than performance. His post read, “I wish I had a paid PR agency,” which was later deleted.
