"MS Dhoni is coming to the US"- Rohit Sharma officially settles the debate of India's wicketkeeper in T20 World Cup 2024

Amid the IPL 2024 thrill, talks about the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 are slowly growing among the cricket fraternity. Recently, Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma, head coach Rahul Dravid, and chief selector Ajit Agarkar reportedly met in Mumbai to discuss their 2024 T20 World Cup squad.

It is being said that they made it mandatory for Hardik Pandya to bowl regularly to his full quota in the ongoing IPL 2024 to prove his bowling fitness if he wants to be picked for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024, which will be co-hosted by the USA and the Caribbean from June 1, 2024.

However, the BCCI selection committee will not finalize their final India squad for the showpiece event until the end of the ongoing IPL 2024. Meanwhile, a video is making the rounds on the internet where Rohit Sharma jokingly teased Dinesh Karthik over the T20 World Cup 2024 selection.

Actually, a wicketkeeper’s spot is up for grabs in the Indian cricket team for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024, and there are multiple talents in line to take the ticket for the Caribbean. And the same matter was discussed in one of the episodes of the Club Prairie Fire Podcast.

Adam Gilchrist suggests a few surprising names to Rohit Sharma for the keeper's role at T20 World Cup 2024

On the podcast, legendary Australian wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist, in a very serious mood, called MS Dhoni and Dinesh Karthik very young talents, and they would be great choices for the wicketkeeper’s role for the Men in Blue at the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024.

Gilchrist’s remark left everyone in a split, as former England captain Michael Vaughan somehow controlled himself from laughing, while Rohit couldn’t himself but burst into laughter before lauding legendary Dhoni for his latest onslaught against the Mumbai Indians (MI) in the ongoing IPL 2024.

Adam Gilchrist said on the podcast: “Obviously, every game, every night, everyone's speculating on which Indian is going to get a boarding pass out to the Caribbean. The keeper-batsman role is, you know, to an extent up for grabs. Amazing amount of young keeper batsmen at your disposal to pick from.

And I reckon the two standouts, two really youngsters who are shining, who I reckon they're both going to have a big future when they grow up and get a bit older, a bit more mature. Dinesh Kartik and MSD, mate, they're I reckon they're going to be great players when they grow up. Yeah.”

It will be hard to convince MSD, but DK...: Rohit Sharma

To which the Indian skipper replied by saying that it would be tough to convince Dhoni to play in the T20 World Cup in 2024. He also recalled Dhoni's onslaught against Hardik Pandya during the MI vs CSK IPL 2024 clash, where the former skipper scored 20 runs off just 4 balls. He then teased Karthik, who recently played a stunning innings of 83 runs off 35 balls, by saying he would easily agree to travel to the USA and Caribbean with the team.

Rohit Sharma said on the podcast: “Yeah, I was quite impressed. Quite impressed, you know, especially with Dinesh, the way he batted a couple of nights back. And Dhoni as well. I mean, look, he came to play four balls, made a huge impact, got those 20-22 runs. And that was eventually the difference in the end.

And look, it will be hard to convince MSD for sure to come to the West Indies, I guess. He is sick and tired. He is coming to the US though to do something else. He is into golf now. So, he is coming to play golf, I guess. Yeah. And then, yeah, DK will be easy to convince, I guess.”
