Win Projections to be updated soon
After facing criticism on social media and in person for taking Rohit Sharma’s place as the Mumbai Indians’ captain, Hardik Pandya made an incredible return during the 2024 T20 World Cup. In the match against South Africa, the all-rounder kept a 16-run deficit alive in the final over as India won the championship. Additionally, in the Super 8 phases of the competition, he was named Player of the Match against Bangladesh.
The all-rounder is tied for top place with Sri Lankan all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga in the ICC rankings after amassing more points thanks to his game-winning heroics. In the Final, Pandya’s period proved to be effective as he managed to pull back India into the match by picking off the marauding Heinrich Klaasen. As India mounted a stunning comeback to win the cup, he bowled the final over and dismissed David Miller with the first ball.
Japsrit Bumrah, who is slightly outside the top 10, has risen to 12 ranks despite earning Player of the Series. On the other hand, Kuldeep Yadav has entered the top 10 and climbed to three spots, sharing the eighth position. After an outstanding World Cup performance, Arshdeep Singh has reached his career-best rating of 13.
Six Indian athletes qualify for the ICC tournament roster.
The ICC’s tournament squad of the year includes six Indian players. The opener is Rohit Sharma, who won his second T20 World Cup trophy and his first as captain. Following that, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, and Axar Patel will strengthen the batting and all-around teams. Arshdeep Singh, the tournament’s top wicket-taker, and Jasprit Bumrah, a prominent pacer from India, are included in the bowling department.
