Former captain Gautam Gambhir has said that the World Cup cricket series is more important than the IPL cricket series and said that the Indian team players should give more importance to the World Cup series. The World Cup ODI series will begin in India in October. Meanwhile, the IPL cricket season is likely to start by the end of April or the first week of May.
BCCI has prepared a 20-man squad for the World Cup series. In this case, former captain Gautam Gambhir said about the IPL and World Cup series that players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will face spin better. They have the ability to make the team win.
These players can take a break from T20 matches if they want to take a break. But they should continue to play ODIs. The players who have been part of the Indian team in the last 2 World Cup series have not played consecutive ODIs before that. We must not make this mistake this time.

The 11 players who can play well should be identified before the World Cup series. Key players can skip the IPL cricket series if necessary keeping the World Cup in mind.
Even if the IPL teams suffer because of this, there is no problem. Let teams influence. Not the IPL teams except the Indian team which is important. If the Indian team plays well and wins the World Cup, it will be a huge achievement.

IPL series is held every year. The World Cup is held only once in 4 years. For me, winning the World Cup is more important than winning the IPL. This is what he said.
