As the T20I World Cup 2024 approaches fast, team India is brimmed with the pool of talent with the young guns rising to cement their positions ahead of the T20I World Cup. Clearly, India has seen a spectacular rise in the young talent that has shone on the given opportunities. The major contributor adding to India’s young talent remains the cash-rich league Indian Premier League (IPL) that witnesses breakout performers each year. 

All eyes are on India's young and dynamic talents that are making a compelling case for their inclusion in the national squad. With a blend of raw talent, fearless aggression, and a hunger for success, these emerging stars are poised to leave an indelible mark on the international stage. T20I World Cup is not far away, scheduled to be held in June just after the IPL 2024. Leading up to the T20I World Cup, India have seen a lot of players creeping up with their performances. 

Surely, there is going to be a huge headache for selectors as well when it comes to shortlisting the players for the upcoming World Cup. But, the performance in the IPL 2024 will also play a significant role for players in solidifying their chances for the World Cup. The rise of Rinku Singh, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tilak Varma and Jitesh Sharma has served India with fresh talent off late. These players have been given chances and they have repaid the faith with exceptional performances. 

The rise of young talent is not a threat to Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s spots in T20Is, nor is it a problem for Hardik Pandya and Suryakuamar Yadav because they all have plenty of experience and their presence at the T20I World Cup will be a great advantage to the team, but what selectors would be eying closely at the IPL 2024 would be the in-form talent which would be essential at the World Cup. 

Currently, India are locked in a three-match home T20I series against Afghanistan. Notably, this series is the only one that they are having ahead of the World Cup 2024. The only practice, players would get to fine-tune their attack, would be the IPL and that form will hold a relevance in the selection for World Cup. Looking at the current picture, it doesn’t seem that there will be too many changes, taking into account the adaptiveness and experience. The number of players, India are currently playing with or are in the circuit, will be looked at for the T20I World Cup provided they keep their tempo and rhythm intact.
