The 2024 season of the T20 World Cup is scheduled to kick off on June 2 (IST), and the countdown for the marquee tournament has begun in its truest sense. While most players are busy enjoying the Indian Premier League (IPL), they will be up against each other very soon, representing their national side. India will be up against Ireland in their first fixture on June 5. While the squad might see some new faces coming up, there are a few names who are likely to play their last T20 World Cup.
3 Indian Players who will play last T20 World Cup
In this article, we will look at three names who will play their last T20 World Cup.
Rohit Sharma
India’s seasoned opener and captain Rohit Sharma has been a constant in the T20I format. He was a part of India’s 2007 World Cup winning squad, and while he started as a middle-order batter, Sharma was promoted to the top order over time. The 36-year-old has four T20I centuries and has made heavy contributions to the Indian batting order. Sharma will turn 37 soon, and despite being in great form, he is likely to play his last T20I World Cup this year.

Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli, India’s former captain and batting wizard, is undoubtedly one of the greatest players to have played the game. The batter has stood by the team’s side in needful situations and helped India get past difficult matches and tournaments. His knock against Pakistan in T20 World Cup 2022 changed India’s course, needless to say, it remains one of his best knocks.
The 35-year-old is fit and in wonderful form; however, he has time and again expressed how fond he is of the longest format of the game. Hence, it is possible that he might hang up his boots from the shortest format of the game.

Ravindra Jadeja
Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is one of the most reliable names in the Indian squad at the 2024 T20 World Cup. Jadeja missed the 2022 World Cup due to knee surgery, and he would try his best to make up for the previous season. The star all-rounder is 35 years old and will turn 37 by the next season of the tournament. With age being a factor, Jadeja might decide to quit the shortest format to focus more on other formats.
