It&#8217;s the start of a new decade and the T20 World Cup 2020 is set to start in October. This year&#8217;s World Cup hosted by Australia promises to be bigger and grander than ever, with 16 teams locking horns for the trophy.

The last T20 World Cup was played in India where the West Indies won the trophy, courtesy a Carlos Brathwaite special in the last over of the final, against England. But things have changed quite drastically over the last four years. The current West Indies side is not even a reflection of the side that won *that* thriller in Kolkata. Pakistan, in spite of being the no. 1 side in ICC rankings, has seen a lump in its performance in the last year or so.

India, England and Australia will start the tournament as favourites to win the cup. The Men in Blue, however, will have to make some tough choices before heading to Australia for their quest for the Cup. India is a country of more than a billion people and hence there is no shortage of cricketing talent. But in the end, only a few of them will get a ticket to Australia this year. So, let&#8217;s discuss five players who might be surprisingly axed from the T20 World Cup squad.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-391497" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/shikhar-Dhawan-1.png" alt="shikhar Dhawan" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-391497" class="wp-caption-text">Shikhar Dhawan.

There was once a time a few years back that Shikhar Dhawan, the 34-year-old left-handed batting genius from Delhi, was indispensable for India. He, together with Rohit Sharma, made a pair that could take away any morale from the opposition. His strike rate of 128.27 is often criticized, but he provided India with a much needed right-left combination at the top order.

A veteran of 60 international T20 matches, Dhawan last played a match in this format in January this year against Sri Lanka. During the India-Australia ODI series that followed, he hurt himself in his shoulder and hence was ruled out of the limited-overs series against New Zealand.

His absence was filled by KL Rahul, who was the highest scorer in the 5-match T20I series with 224 runs to his name. Considering that Rahul is only 27 years of age and has a brilliant strike rate of 146.1 in the format, there is a high probability that he may be the first choice opener for India in the coming years. If that&#8217;s the case, India might well leave out Shikhar Dhawan from the T20 World Cup Squad.

When Hardik Pandya, India&#8217;s premier all-rounder got injured and was ruled out for about half a year, it was a golden chance for many youngsters to show their capabilities on the international level. Shivam Dube, a player of the RCB, got this opportunity and since then, has played a total of 12 T20 international matches for the country. However, he left a lot to be desired.

Except for a quickfire 54 off 30 deliveries against the West Indies at Thiruvananthapuram, he hasn&#8217;t shown a lot of promise with the bat. In the bowling department too, he has only got 5 wickets to show, with 3 of them coming in a single match. To dampen his already mediocre statistics, Ross Taylor and Tim Seifert hit him for 34 runs in a single over he bowled in the 5th match of the NZ-IND T20 series.

An all-rounder is what brings balance to any side. Shivam Dube hasn&#8217;t been able to provide that balance. With Ravindra Jadeja returning to his best, and Hardik Pandya recovering from his injury, the road ahead might not be clear for Dube, and it is probable that he might be left out of the squad for the T20 World Cup.

Arguably the best swing bowler in modern-day cricket, Bhuvneshwar Kumar hasn&#8217;t had the best of times in the past couple of years. He has spent most of this time away from the game, recovering from injuries and in rehabilitation centers.

Having made his international T20 debut in December 2012 against Pakistan, Bhuvneshwar, through his nagging line and lengths, has transformed himself into a T20 specialist. His injury problems started two years ago, during IPL 2018 and since then, the injuries continuously resurface. Fast bowlers have a very fragile body. Once any part of a body is injured, it becomes prone to further damage.

In his absence, a number of fast bowlers have come on to the big stage, including the likes of Deepak Chahar, Navdeep Saini. With them doing well in their place, Bhuvneshwar will have to work very hard to claw his way back in the Indian setup. Seeing that the World Cup starts in October, it is highly unlikely and Kumar might have to lose his place in the T20 World Cup squad.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-396139" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Shardul-Thakur-1.jpg" alt="Shardul Thakur" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-396139" class="wp-caption-text">Shardul Thakur. (Photo by Hagen Hopkins/Getty Images)</figcaption>

Shardul Thakur made his international T20 debut at SuperSport Park, Centurian against the Proteas in February 2018. Since then, he has been an in-and-out member of the Indian team. During the absence of experienced fast bowlers such as Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, he sometimes has also led the bowling attack in the shorter format of the game.

A total of 21 wickets in 14 matches will tell you that he has been a fine bowler for India, but there is another problem. His lack of bowling yorkers at the death has been an issue and his economy of a whooping 8.73 too doesn&#8217;t help his cause.

Jasprit Bumrah has returned from his injury and Mohammed Shami, on the other hand, is making a strong case for his slot in the T20 format. The relatively newcomers, Navdeep Saini and Deepak Chahar have also done well in the limited opportunities they&#8217;ve got. All in all, it&#8217;s not going to be easy for Shardul Thakur and he might be axed out from the T20 World Cup squad that will travel to Australia.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-369715" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Khaleel-Ahmed-1.jpg" alt="Khaleel Ahmed" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-369715" class="wp-caption-text">Khaleel Ahmed. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Ever since the likes of RP Singh, Irfan Pathan, Zaheer Khan and Ashish Nehra retired from cricket, India is in need of a quality left-arm pacer. When Khaleel Ahmed arrived on the big stage, everyone thought, he is the one. However, that was not to be.

The 22-year fast-medium bowler from Tonk, Rajasthan, Khaleel Ahmed, played his last T20 international match in November last year, having made his debut a year prior to that. In the 14 matches he has bowled in, he has just got 13 wickets at a poor economy rate of 8.83. The expectations riding on him were not fulfilled.

The T20 World Cup in Australia starts in October and India is trying to strengthen its bowling. With the experience of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami, the raw pace of Navdeep Saini, the deadly swing of Deepak Chahar already in India&#8217;s possession, chances are that Khaleel Ahmed might be dropped from the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup.

5 Indian players who might be surprisingly axed for T20 World Cup 2020

The last T20 World Cup was played in India where the West Indies won the trophy, courtesy a Carlos Brathwaite special in the last over of the final
