Chennai Super Kings (CSK) star Shivam Dube‘s stellar performance in the IPL throws a wrench in the works, presenting a strong case as a potential replacement. This all-rounder selection is sure to be a hot topic for the selectors.

KL Rahul, Ishan Kishan, and Sanju Samson are all vying for the backup wicketkeeper-batter slot. Picking the right candidate for this crucial position will be a key decision for the team management.
Rohit Sharma & Virat Kohli at Top? Openers in Focus
Will the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 witness a reunion at the top of the order for Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli? Reports suggest this is a possibility, which would then leave young openers like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill on the sidelines.
