The TATA IPL 2024 is approaching the playoff stage. Some players who did well in the tournament are rewarded with a place in the T20 World Cup 2024. The ICC event will start on June 1 in the USA and West Indies. Rohit Sharma will be leading the Indian team, while Hardik Pandya will assist him. Players like Sanju Samson, Yuzi Chahal, and Shivam Dube are rewarded with good IPL performances.
But some big names like KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, and Rinku Singh were dropped. Not just these players; there were a few Indian veterans that were not on the radar as well. Hence, we will talk here about 4 Indian stars who might announce retirement after IPL 2024 after not getting picked in the T20 World Cup 2024.
4. Wriddhiman Saha
Veteran wicket-keeper Wriddhiman Saha has not played an international game since 2021. And it looks like he might not come back. The 39-year-old is in the final phase of his career, and with not many hopes for an India comeback, he is likely to retire after IPL 2024.
3. Ishant Sharma
Ishant Sharma is another name who was part of the Indian team for more than a decade. But he has not played international games since 2021. He was not in schemes of things for T20is, and it won’t be a surprise if he announces his retirement after the IPL 2024.
2. Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Veteran Indian pacer Bhuneshwar Kumar was India’s first-choice bowler in the shorter format a few years ago. He also played in the 2022 T20 World Cup for India. But since then, he hasn’t played any games for India. There was hope that he would have done well in the IPL 2024. But now it looks like he might hang up his boots after the tournament.
1. Shikhar Dhawan
Shikhar Dhawan was India’s all-format batter a few years ago. Later, he was shifted to a white-ball format and led the team as well. The IPL 2024 was his best chance to give his final shot at a selection in India. But it looks like all the doors are closed for him. Hence, we might decide to announce his retirement.
