In the upcoming T20 World Cup, Mumbai Indians (MI) will have four players from the Indian national team squad, including Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, and Jasprit Bumrah. This could give them an advantage over other teams in the tournament despite being at the bottom of the rankings in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Meanwhile, teams like Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), who are currently leading the IPL standings, do not have any players from the Indian T20 World Cup squad. This raises questions about whether their strong performances in the IPL will translate to success for Team India in the upcoming tournament.
The Delhi Capitals (DC) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) also have a significant number of players from the Indian T20 World Cup squad, with three and two players respectively. The mix of experienced players and rising talents within these teams could be beneficial for Team India as they prepare for international competition.
Overall, while performing well in the IPL may not directly correlate to success on the international stage, exposure to high-pressure situations and competitive environments can certainly help players prepare for success on a global scale. It will be exciting to see how these dynamics within IPL teams play out in the upcoming T20 World Cup.
