Team India will be bringing their best to the 2022 T20 World Cup. The selectors have formed a team with the most powerful pacers, spinners, batters, and all-rounders. Including the likes of Virat Kohli, Bumrah, Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Rishab Pant, and many more. Among these amazing athletes, some will be entering the competition on the wrong side of their 30s and will probably be seeing their last T20 World Cup.
The players who are most likely to be playing their last T20 World Cup for India are-
Ravichandran Ashwin
The master of the white ball has been given a green light for the 2022 World Cup due to his amazing performance in the Indian Premier League. However, Ashwin being in his mid-thirties won't be possible for him to participate in the next World Cup. witch players like Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy, Rahul Chahar, etc. waiting in the wings it is time for Ashwin to say goodbye to India’s T20 team.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar
For the 32-year-old pacer with his health in question, the selectors have to think twice before giving him the pass. His recent injuries were the main problem for his inconsistency, which kept him out of the team for a long period. As Mohammad Shami who was replaced by the younger talent, Bhuvneshwar might also meet the same fate in a couple of years.
Dinesh Karthik
The oldest member of India’s 2022 World Cup squad Dinesh Karthik, will most probably play his last T20 World Cup for India. He is still considered one of the best finishers on the Indian team, always calm and collected even stepping into a tense situation. The 37-year-old made his way into the 2022 World Cup squad but is not likely to be this fortunate next time when the opportunity arrives.
