Indian stars were honored ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024 campaign.
The Indian cricket contingent received accolades from the ICC ahead of their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign commencing in the West Indies and USA. Leading the pack was premier T20I batter Suryakumar Yadav, bestowed with ICC Men’s Cricketer and Team of the Year honors for his exploits in the format. All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was awarded the ICC Test Team cap.
Captain Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Kuldeep Yadav, and Mohammed Siraj joined Yadav in collecting ICC ODI Team caps, while left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh got the T20I Team cap.
The Men in Blue will look to begin their title pursuit on a high when they face Ireland in their June 5 tournament opener in New York. The high-octane India-Pakistan clash has generated fervent anticipation among fans worldwide.
Further Group games versus hosts USA and Canada will conclude the league stage for Virat Kohli’s troops. Pursuing a maiden ICC trophy in 2013, India reached the summit clashes of multiple global events but failed to cross the final hurdle.
Aiming to go one better than past near-misses, the talent-laden squad will draw confidence from the ICC recognitions bestowed upon some key performers. With a trophy-winning pedigree, India hopes to mark their return to the big stage with a glorious world title.
