All eyes will now be on the Indian setup as the Tata IPL 2022 approaches its conclusion for this year. The squad for India’s T20 series against South Africa has already been named. A few new entrants have already started to come into consideration for India’s T20 squad, along with resurgences of done and dusted players, courtesy of consistent performances in IPL 2022.

The BCCI has lined up a very high number of T20 games leading up to the world cup. After the South Africa series, India are set to play England (away), West Indies (away), followed by the Asia Cup, which will also be in a T20 format this year to prepare for the T20 world cup down under. This only means one thing: more and more chances for players to prove their mettle before the T20 World Cup to cement their place in the eleven.

Let us scan through five such players, who are in red-hot form and might be considered for India’s T20 world cup squad in Australia.

As the good old saying goes, &#8220;Everything will be okay in the end. It&#8217;s not the end if it&#8217;s not okay.&#8221; That is true in the case of Dinesh Karthik. Karthik, who had turned into a player-cum-commentator post the 2019 World Cup, was almost considered done and dusted with regards to a place in the Indian setup with scores of 8, 0, 38*, 25*, and 12. Karthik last played a T20I against Australia in February 2019. He had been showing signs of a complete finisher with a consistent strike rate of above 150. Karthik&#8217;s resurgence came in the Tata IPL 2022, where he was given the role of a finisher in the Royal Challengers Bangalore setup and Boy! Karthik delivered for RCB. In all, Karthik has scored 287 runs at an average of 57.40 in the 14 innings he has played for RCB this season. Karthik, who was always underrated during the MS Dhoni era, is finally coming into his own with 360-degree unorthodox shots. The way Karthik has batted, RCB has not missed Mr. 360, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/i-would-love-to-return-to-my-second-hometown-ab-de-villiers-confirms-returtn-to-rcb-camp-for-ipl-2023/">Ab de Villiers</a>. The newly found finisher for RCB has won matches from the jaws of defeat as Karthik has the best strike, 191.33 between overs 16-20 for RCB. Such high-pressure performances have earned Karthik a callup into the T20 squad against South Africa, meaning the selectors have already locked on Karthik as their finisher for the Indian team along with Hardik Pandya for the T20 world cup Down Under.

The Punjab King’s death-over specialist has finally made his way into the Indian squad for the T20 series against South Africa. Arshdeep has been the most economical bowler for the Punjab Kings, with an economy rate of just 7.70. It was just a matter of time for Arshdeep to receive an international call-up with such high-impact performances. The Indian team has been missing a left-arm pacer in their armory since the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/i-got-my-early-education-in-t20-bowling-from-zaheer-khan-harshal-patel/">Zaheer</a> Era. Arshdeep, with his variations and pinpoint yorkers can be a lethal combination along with Bumrah and Shami leading up to the T20 world cup.

And Arshdeep only had Natarajan as his counterpart. With Nattu out of the squad against the Proteas, Arshdeep can start his visa procedures for the T20 World Cup in Australia.

If there is anyone who should thank the IPL for their comeback, amongst all, Kuldeep Yadav would be the first player in the queue. After a disastrous 2021 IPL season with KKR, where the Chinaman picked just one wicket in the five innings he featured for the Knight Riders, It was almost curtains for Kuldeep as injury ruled him out of the 2021 IPL season. In the mega IPL mega auction, Kuldeep was picked by the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/dc-delhi-capitals/?page=1">Delhi Capitals</a> and his career took a U-turn from thereon. Kuldeep was the highest wicket-taker for the eliminated DC, with 21 wickets in 14 innings. The left-arm spinner has the best strike rate of 14.19 amongst the Delhi bowlers. Kuldeep is the fifth-highest wicket-taker in IPL 2022. Such match-winning performances earned Kuldeep a call-up back to India’s T20 squad for South Africa. Kuldeep will like to continue the momentum and make it to India’s T20 world cup squad. Kuldeep was also left out of the T20 squad in the UAE, and such an impactful IPL will boost the young Chinaman&#8217;s confidence and put him in strong contention to be Team India&#8217;s second spinner in World Cup 2022.

(Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

&#8220;Kung fu Pandya&#8221; has been a man on a mission in Tata IPL 2022. Some say captaincy pressure spoils the game of a free-flowing batter. But Hardik has been proving all his critics wrong with his match-winning batting, bowling, and captaincy decisions. <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/gujarat-titans/?page=1">Gujarat Titans</a> were underdogs coming into the tournament, with no big names in their eleven. However, it has been Captain Hardik’s free spirit that has been the backbone of Gujarat’s lineup. Hardik has had his best IPL as a batter, as he has scored his highest ever 413 runs in a single IPL season for the first time in his IPL career. It&#8217;s not only his batting that has come to light; it’s also Pandya’s fast and fiery short spells that have raised eyebrows all over the cricketing world. Hardik has taken four wickets and has put the brakes on the scoring rate of the opponents with an economy of 7.79. Apart from his bowling and batting abilities, what has grabbed the attention of cricket pundits is the way Hardik has carried his team. Hardik has been an innovative captain who has used the best of his limited resources to their maximum capacity quite productively. Hardik’s inclusion in the T20 squad only indicates his cementing a position as a finishing all-rounder in India’s plan ahead of the T20 world cup in Australia. Pandya&#8217;s bowling and batting styles will be enhanced by the pitches in Australia, where he made his debut for India in 2016.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-630664" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2022/04/Yuzvendra-Chahal-2.jpg" alt="Yuzvendra Chahal" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-630664" class="wp-caption-text">Yuzvendra Chahal. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

The man who had never been dropped ever since he made his international debut was dropped out of nowhere just ahead of the T20 World Cup in the UAE in 2021. To add insult to injury, Yuzvendra Chahal was not even retained by his beloved RCB franchise ahead of the mega auctions in 2022. Chahal was quiet and bowled a googly to dismiss all of his doubters and critics with his performance in IPL 2022. The proud owner of the &#8220;Purple Cap&#8221;, Yuzvendra Chahal, has shown the selectors and BCCI that he is the best leg-spinner in the current Indian setup. With 26 wickets in 14 innings, Yuzi stands tall above every other bowler who has bowled in the IPL 2022 so far. T20 is a format dominated by wrist spinners, and India’s best wrist spinner, Yuzvendra Chahal, has announced his comeback in some fashion. Such worthy performances have earned him a call-up in the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ind-vs-sa-5-deserving-indian-players-to-miss-out-from-t20i-squad/">South Africa</a> series. For a man of Yuzi’s class, a mere series against South Africa won&#8217;t satisfy his hunger, as his ultimate goal will be to represent India in the T20 World Cup in 2022 in Australia. The big grounds of Australia would further assist the &#8220;Chalak, Chanchal, Chatur&#8221; Chahal, who can use his variations to good effect on bigger grounds. The resurgence of &#8220;Kul-Cha&#8221; can wreak havoc amongst the opposition batters in a matter of a few overs.

All eyes will now be on the Indian setup as the Tata IPL 2022 approaches its conclusion for this year. The squad for India’s T20 series against South Africa has already been named.

&#8220;Kung fu Pandya&#8221; has been a man on a mission in Tata IPL 2022. Some say captaincy pressure spoils the game of a free-flowing batter. But Hardik has been proving all his critics wrong with his match-winning batting, bowling, and captaincy decisions. <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/gujarat-titans/?page=1">Gujarat Titans</a> were underdogs coming into the tournament, with no big names in their eleven. However, it has been Captain Hardik’s free spirit that has been the backbone of Gujarat’s lineup. Hardik has had his best IPL as a batter, as he has scored his highest ever 413 runs in a single IPL season for the first time in his IPL career. It&#8217;s not only his batting that has come to light; it’s also Pandya’s fast and fiery short spells that have raised eyebrows all over the cricketing world. Hardik has taken four wickets and has put the brakes on the scoring rate of the opponents with an economy of 7.79. Apart from his bowling and batting abilities, what has grabbed the attention of cricket pundits is the way Hardik has carried his team. Hardik has been an innovative captain who has used the best of his limited resources to their maximum capacity quite productively. Hardik’s inclusion in the T20 squad only indicates his cementing a position as a finishing all-rounder in India’s plan ahead of the T20 world cup in Australia. Pandya&#8217;s bowling and batting styles will be enhanced by the pitches in Australia, where he made his debut for India in 2016.

<h3>5. Yuzvendra Chahal</h3>

The man who had never been dropped ever since he made his international debut was dropped out of nowhere just ahead of the T20 World Cup in the UAE in 2021. To add insult to injury, Yuzvendra Chahal was not even retained by his beloved RCB franchise ahead of the mega auctions in 2022. Chahal was quiet and bowled a googly to dismiss all of his doubters and critics with his performance in IPL 2022. The proud owner of the &#8220;Purple Cap&#8221;, Yuzvendra Chahal, has shown the selectors and BCCI that he is the best leg-spinner in the current Indian setup. With 26 wickets in 14 innings, Yuzi stands tall above every other bowler who has bowled in the IPL 2022 so far. T20 is a format dominated by wrist spinners, and India’s best wrist spinner, Yuzvendra Chahal, has announced his comeback in some fashion. Such worthy performances have earned him a call-up in the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ind-vs-sa-5-deserving-indian-players-to-miss-out-from-t20i-squad/">South Africa</a> series. For a man of Yuzi’s class, a mere series against South Africa won&#8217;t satisfy his hunger, as his ultimate goal will be to represent India in the T20 World Cup in 2022 in Australia. The big grounds of Australia would further assist the &#8220;Chalak, Chanchal, Chatur&#8221; Chahal, who can use his variations to good effect on bigger grounds. The resurgence of &#8220;Kul-Cha&#8221; can wreak havoc amongst the opposition batters in a matter of a few overs.

India are set to play South Africa, England, West Indies and the Asia Cup before the T20 World Cup 2022.
