Famous cricket analyst Harsha Bhogle was spotted selecting his preferred players from the just finished T20 World Cup 2024 to assemble the competition’s team. Up to six Indian players are among the star-studded XI that Bhogle has selected, and two players from Afghanistan have also been included. Remarkably, the captain of Men in Blue and the winner of the World Cup leads Harsha Bhogle’s XI.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz of Afghanistan, who excelled for the Blue Tigers with his sharp stroke-making throughout the competition, has been paired with Rohit for the opening duties. In the highly sought-after ICC event, both hitters made sure their teams got off to fast starts and shown the proper intentions from the beginning.
