The Indian stars disappointed their fans with their performance in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021. Looking at the strength of the Indian stars, many fans expected the Men in Blue to lift their first ICC trophy since 2013 this year. However, the same did not happen.
India crashed out of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 after losing two of their five Super 12 matches. The Men in Blue will now look forward to winning the T20 WC 2022 which will happen in Australia. The following six Indian stars will be keen to make a comeback after missing out on a spot in the T20 WC 2021 squad.
1. Shreyas Iyer
Shreyas Iyer’s shoulder injury cost him Delhi Capitals captaincy and a place in the Indian team. He was not even in the 15-man squad. Iyer will look to score heaps of runs and return for the next T20 World Cup.
2. Yuzvendra Chahal
Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal’s exclusion surprised many members of the cricket universe. He himself was very disappointed and will aim to return for the mega event next year.
3. T Natarajan
Left-arm pacer T Natarajan could have been the X-factor for India in the T20 WC 2021. However, the selectors did not pick him. Australia has been a lucky place for Natarajan, and it could be the place where he plays his first T20 WC.
4. Deepak Chahar
Deepak Chahar is another pace bowler who could have made an impact in the 2021 T20 WC. He is a wicket-taker, who does well in the powerplay. Chahar’s eyes will be on the next T20 WC now.
5. Axar Patel
All-rounder Axar Patel unluckily lost his place in the 15-man squad for the T20 WC 2021. Patel will look to continue performing well and return to the Indian T20 WC squad next year.
6. Shikhar Dhawan
Considered as specialist of ICC tournaments, Shikhar Dhawan can return to the Indian squad for the T20 WC 2022. He has the experience of playing Down Under and can be a game-changer for the team. Dhawan captained India against Sri Lanka in July but was surprisingly ignored for the T20 WC 2021.
