Delhi: Currently, the 17th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) is being played and the ICC T20 World Cup will start immediately after that. T20 World Cup will start from June 2 and Team India's first match will be on June 5. The Indian team for the upcoming ICC tournament will be announced in the near future. Meanwhile, the Indian selection committee under the leadership of Ajit Agarkar is expected to meet at the end of this month or on the first of next month.

This question is in the minds of the fans which players will participate in the T20 World Cup. Recently in some media reports it was being claimed that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will open in the T20 World Cup. Meanwhile, Rohit has discussed this with Ajit Agarkar and head coach Rahul Dravid, but now the Indian captain has denied these media reports.

Rohit has called all these news nonsense. Speaking to Australian legend Adam Gilchrist and former England captain Michael Vaughan on the “Club Prairie Fire” podcast, he said, “I have not met anyone. Ajit Agarkar is currently somewhere in Dubai. They are playing golf. On the other hand, Rahul Dravid is watching his son's game. And I myself was in Mumbai. To tell the truth, we have not met. These days, unless I, Rahul, Ajit or anyone from BCCI comes and speaks in front of the camera, all this is nonsense.”

Who makes Rishabh Pant laugh the most in the Indian team?

Apart from this, Michael Vaughan asked Rohit if there is any player whom he would like to keep in the team just for fun. Rohit laughed at this and took the name of Rishabh Pant. According to Rohit, if anyone in the team makes me laugh, it is Rishabh Pant. I have been watching him since childhood. Due to the accident he could not play for a year. I was very disappointed at that time. His nature is very humorous. The kind of things he does behind the stumps, it makes you laugh.”

According to a report in Dainik Jagran, last week a meeting was held at the BCCI headquarters between head coach Rahul Dravid, chief selector Ajit Agarkar and Rohit, in which there was talk of giving Kohli a chance to open. In such a situation, now Rohit Sharma has confirmed and termed these news as lies.
