India may have suffered a telling blow to their T20 World Cup aspirations as the latest reports emerging states that Virat Kohli, India’s star batter will possibly be dropped from the squad. Even though nothing is very concretely mentioned, yet with the name of VK involved, every report garner traction and it is now being fanned further by the media outlets.

Earlier, Jay Shah had confirmed that Rohit Sharma will continue to be India’s skipper for the upcoming T20 World Cup while he didn’t answer anything about VK. However, as per the latest reports by Times Now, it states that all roads to one of the most experienced campaigners being dropped from the squad in order to accommodate the youngsters.

Here’s the possible names that can replace Virat Kohli in the squad

With new names taking the cricketing horizon by storm which features the likes of Rinku Singh, Devdutt Padikkal, Dhruv Jurel, Ruturaj Gaikwad and other promising talents already making their way to the centerstage, the reports state that selectors are pondering over including young talents in the side which makes it a risky call but with the dearth of ICC trophies for the last decade stretching itself further, it also goes without a saying that they are looking forward to make radical strides.

Going by the reports of the Telegraph, the final call will lie with the head of selection, Ajit Agarkar. However, Jay Shah’s silence on the matter is making everyone ponder that what exactly is going to be the fate of VK in the upcoming tournament.

The reports also state that VK may not be a good player of spin and in West Indies and USA, most of the surfaces are turners and this is even more of a reason why the Indian selection committee is bothered and concerned.

Only time shall tell what lies ahead of India and Virat but if this T20 World Cup doesn’t come to the Indian cabinet, prolonged meetings will be taking place and so will be the radical decisions that may change a majority of the Indian cricketing brass. Also, if VK performs well in the IPL, the entire dynamics may shift.
