India, led by Rohit Sharma, who entered the 2022 ICC T20 World Cup as the number one T20 team in the rankings, went out in the league round as usual but failed to even qualify for the finals in the knockout round. So the fans who were expecting to win the 2nd trophy after 15 years after 2007 were disappointed. India’s defeat in the series was mainly due to the lackluster performances of Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul, who were supposed to give a blistering start to the captaincy.
In order to maintain his market which has reached the peak of 17 crores in the IPL series, KL Rahul who has been showing frequent batting due to the fear of getting out despite his skill in the recent times, faces many balls and gets out for few runs and causes a setback for the next players, otherwise he plays with a low strike rate even though he accumulates big runs and loses. He is playing in the approach of setting up.

Future Heroes:
Especially after coming back from injury, fans are proving with evidence that he stumbles a lot and misses in stressful big matches and pushes the time by beating the little ones. Therefore, cricket fans have raised a war flag on social media to remove whoever is removed from the T20 team. So let’s take a look at 4 players who have the potential to replace him:
4. Rudraaj Gaikwad: In 2020, for the first time in the history, Chennai went out without qualifying for the play-off round, and his performance was the main reason for his action as a spark to win the trophy in the 2021 IPL season. He made his debut in T20 cricket for India after scoring 635 runs as an opener in that season.

Vijay Hazare, who is playing in good form and scoring a hundred in the ongoing local series, is likely to play in a big way if he is given a continuous chance.
3. Ishan Kishan: From the state of Jharkhand, where Dhoni was born, he was active in the 2020 and 2021 IPL series, making his debut for India and scoring a half-century in the first match. But he lost his form in 2022 after being bought for an exorbitant amount and performed well in the T20 series against South Africa last July and in the recent ODI series.

With 543 runs in 19 matches so far at a good strike rate of 131.16, he is also a left-handed batsman and can be expected to be one of the pair to challenge the opposition in the opening.
2. Sanju Samson: He has been struggling to play for India since the beginning of the year but his omission from the T20 World Cup has left the fans in a tizzy. He has such good skills that he gets the support of the fans, although he usually plays in the 3rd position, he has amazing skills in the opening.

And there is no doubt that he is in good form in the IPL 2022 series and in the recent one-day series against New Zealand A, and he deserves to replace Rahul.
1. Prithivi Shah: He made his debut in senior cricket by winning the 2018 ICC U-19 World Cup as a captain and showed such excellent performances that the then coach Ravi Shastri praised him as a combination of Laura, Sachin and Sehwag. However, he lost the opportunity due to consecutive failures and now he has returned to good form with a century in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
However, he has not been selected for the next New Zealand series as he has the ability to blast the opposing bowlers in the powerplay overs with an impressive strike rate of 140-150 like former player Sehwag in the opening, so we can see him playing in the Indian team again soon.
