IND vs WI: 3 Deserving Indian Players Who Missed Out On A Spot In The T20I Squad

3. Ruturaj Gaikwad

Ruturaj Gaikwad is part of the ODI squad but is missing from the T20I squad. Gaikwad impressed selectors with his batting show for CSK in IPL 2021, where he finished as the highest run-getter in the tournament.

Hence, he should be given more chances in the T20I format. Moreover, he is highly likely to be benched throughout the IND vs WI ODI series, something which we saw in the previous IND vs SA ODI series.

2. Shikhar Dhawan

Shikhar Dhawan is another deserving player who is not part of the IND vs WI T20I series. Dhawan is part of the ODI series. However, he should have been picked for the T20I squad as well. Dhawan has always performed for India in the limited-overs format.

The 36-year-old gave a good performance during the IND vs SA ODI series recently. He also gave an outstanding performance in IPL 2021, finishing as the 4th highest run-getter. Due to his consistent performances in recent times, the left-handed batsman should be given more opportunities in the shortest format.

1. Varun Chakravarthy

Varun Chakravarthy is another player on this list. Chakravarthy last played for India in ICC T20 World Cup 2021. He could not come up with a good show in the tournament, where India faced a humiliating first-round exit.

Selectors have kept Chakravarthy out of the squad post the tournament. However, he needs more opportunities to showcase his talent. IND vs WI T20I series was a good opportunity for the right-arm spinner to gain the limelight.
