With Kolkata Knight Riders’ (KKR) victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) final; Indian cricket fans will unite once again as the Rohit Sharma-led team is set to begin their attempt at winning an ICC title for the first time in 11 years in the 2024 T20 World Cup.
Since winning the tournament in its inaugural edition in 2007, the Indian Cricket Team has yet to lift the title once again and will hope to end a 17-year-old wait in the 2024 edition, which will be hosted in the West Indies and the United States of America (USA).
The T20 World Cup will take place in a new format this time around as the competition expands to a 20-team tournament. India is placed in Group A with the United States of America, Canada, Ireland, and Pakistan.
India will play all their group stage matches in the USA before the tournament moves to the West Indies for the Super Eight stages and the knockouts.
Regardless of the position that India finishes in their group, if they qualify for the Super 8s, they will be seeded as the Super 8 and will be placed in Group 1 alongside Australia, New Zealand, and Sri Lanka if they qualify.
India announced a squad on an expected basis last month, with a big talking point being Rinku Singh’s omission and Shivam Dube’s inclusion, as well as a recall for Yuzvzendra Chahal.
