4 Players from Mumbai Indians, 0 from IPL 2024's top-2 teams: India's T20 World Cup squad dissected

As IPL 2024 progresses into its play-off stage, with Kolkata Knight Riders, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rajasthan Royals, and Royal Challengers Bangalore as the top four teams, the anticipation grows. The immediate transition from the IPL final to the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, commencing in early June, adds a layer of intrigue. The question arises: will the performances of the IPL teams influence the form and confidence of Team India cricketers during the T20 World Cup? Interestingly, the top two IPL teams, KKR and SRH, surprisingly lack players from India's T20 World Cup squad. In contrast, Mumbai Indians, despite being at the bottom of the rankings, boast four national team players, while Delhi Capitals, ranked sixth, have three. Notably, KKR's Rinku Singh finds a place in India's reserves, hinting at a potential impact on the tournament dynamics.
