New Delhi: India is finally ready to play in T20 World Cup. After many ups and downs, BCCI has now announced the final 15-members of India team who will be fighting in the World Cup in Australia.
Here’s how India lost their two star players:-
The very first blow to Team India came when excellent all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was ruled out after failing to recover injury. He suffered a knee injury during Asia Cup 2022 and went under surgery. There were hopes that he will fit by World Cup but doctors advised otherwise.
The second shock for India was the absence of Jasprit Bumrah. The entire country and rival teams know how significant is Bumrah’s presence in team. When he was ruled out after a stress fracture, India needed to even better prepared for the tournament if they want to heal the previous wounds.
