Mohit Sharma, the seasoned Indian fast bowler, has found himself in the limelight once again, not just for his exceptional performances in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) but also for fervent calls from fans for his inclusion in India’s squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024.
Consistent brilliance in the cash-rich league
Since his return to IPL action with the Gujarat Titans (GT) in 2023, Mohit has been a standout performer. The right-arm pacer, formerly with Chennai Super Kings (CSK), concluded the previous IPL season as the second-highest wicket-taker, amassing 27 wickets ꧑in 14 matches. His impressive haul included two 4-wicket hauls and a remarkable 5-wicket haul.
In the current I🎃PL season, Mohit has continued his stellar form, claiming🅷 6 wickets in just 3 games for the Titans, placing him among the top wicket-takers yet again.
Match-winning contributions
In a recent match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Mohit showcased his match-winning prowess by claiming three crucial wickets, conceding only 25 runs. His stellar performance played a significant role in Gujarat’s commanding 7-wicket victory, earning him the well-deserved Player of the Match accolade.
Fans’ outpouring support
On social media platforms, fervent calls for Mohit’s inclusion in India’s T20 World Cup squad have been overwhelming. Fans from across the cricketing spectrum have highlighted Mohit’s exceptional form and match-winning capabilities, urging the BCCI and Indian selectors to consider him for the prestigious tournament. With the mega event set to unfold in the West Indies and USA, fans believe that Mohit’s experience, skill, and recent form make him an indispensable asset for India’s campaign.
Statistical reinforcement
Mohit’s efficacy, especially in the death overs (17-20), has been a focal point of discussion among fans and analysts alike. Since IPL 2023, he has scalped 17 wickets in the death overs, boasting an impressive average of 9.59, a strike rate of 7, and an economy rate of 8.15. These statistics underline his ability to delive꧃r under pressure, making him a formidable asset in the T20 format.

Here’s how fans reacted:
This may sound going backwards but Mohit Sharma is bowling really well and should be considered for T20 world cup. If pitches are going to be slow then Mohit is absolute beast in exploiting those conditio𒁃ns.
He has multiple slow ball options ♍with ওvaried pace which upsets the…

India has invested a lot in Mukesh Kumar and Arshdeep Singh for 𒈔the next T20 World Cup.

Mohit Sharma has been phenomenal at the death for the Gujar🦩at Titans. If he can continue this, surely he must be considered for Team India for the T20 World Cup.

Anyone else starting a debate on how Mohit Sharma can go to the West Indies for the T20 World Cup thanks to his deceptive sloಞwer ones and given the nature of the wickets there?

3 wickets for just 25 runs in 4 overs for the experienced Mohit Sharma. He conceded only 3 runs in the last over. Experienc♍e has no substitute ❤️
India should take him to T20 World Cup, he would be exceptional on pitches i♛n USA and Windies 🇮🇳🔥

Indian selectors should look into bring Mohit Sharma along for T20 World Cup…
He could do wonders in death bowling to defend.

— Uzumaki Firebulb (@FirebulbTweets)
If Mohꦇit Sharma is to get a recall for Team India in the T20 World Cup…it would not be a problem for him to adapt as he has pla🌺yed a T20 & ODI World Cup before as well as being a teammate of the 2 senior most players…I would say go for it…

The kind of form Mohit Sharma is in, it shouldn't come as a shock if he's called up for the Indian squad in the T20 World Cup.
