“Rohit and Virat have a great deal of mettle.” Senior India players are supported by Harbhajan Singh to participate in the 2024 T20 World Cup

The Twenty20 World Cup 2024 is rapidly approaching. With the USA and the West Indies slated to co-host the main event, numerous teams have a chance to win and emerge as global champions. Team India would have been among the heavy favorites going into the match. Pat Cummins’ team, Team India, lost to Australia in the championship game, narrowly missing out on a spot in the 2023 ODI World Cup summit game.

But many have been talking about the team India could produce for the T20 World Cup as it draws near. Veteran batters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were the subject of many criticisms, but in spite of the ongoing debates, former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh spoke up in favor of both batters and gave them permission to play in the competition.

Both Virat and Rohit possess a great deal of mettle. HT cited Harbhajan Singh as saying, “I think they should play.”

With 280–290 runs, we could have won. Although the pitch, dew, and circumstances are receiving a lot of the blame, we have to acknowledge that we performed poorly when under duress, “added the speaker.
