3 wicketkeepers who need to have a good IPL campaign to strengthen their T20 World Cup chances

A brand-new IPL season is around the corner and the fanfare has started to build around the biggest franchise league in the world. This IPL season will decide the destiny of a lot of Indian players in a T20 World Cup year. Let us take a look at 3 wicketkeepers who need to have a good IPL campaign to strengthen their T20 World Cup chances. 

1. Jitesh Sharma

The Punjab Kings wicketkeeper-batter Jitesh Sharma is one of the prominent candidates to take the wicketkeeper slot in the Indian squad for the 2024 T20 World Cup. He has shown in the previous season of IPL that he can finish the games in the death overs. Jitesh has been impressive in Indian colours as well with a few impressive cameos. To grab this slot, he will have to make this IPL season count with his batting performances. 

2. Sanju Samson

The Rajasthan Royals skipper is another potential name for the wicketkeeper’s slot in the Indian team. Sanju Samson missed the ODI World Cup selection agonizingly but we might see his presence in the 2024 T20 World Cup. However, without a successful IPL season, it will be very difficult for Sanju to confirm his place. He has been starting the IPL season on a good note in the last few years but when the season progresses the runs seem to dry up for the Royals’ skipper. This season he must reverse this trend and a consistent run of form is non-negotiable for him.

3. Ishan Kishan

Ishan Kishan has been in the spotlight recently for the wrong reasons. His surprise exclusion from the team and then his unavailability in domestic cricket are alarming signs for the youngster. But things can change if he scores runs in the next couple of months. This IPL season will hold a lot of value for Ishan Kishan as he can return to the scheme of things if he can help Mumbai Indians with his batting form.
