'Let’s Bring This Trophy Home': Jai Shah Wishes All Luck to Team India for T20 World Cup 2024

BCCI secretary Jay Shah has wished Team India all the luck for its campaign opener against Ireland in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024. After warming up well against Bangladesh, Rohit Sharma and his men will begin their quest for a second world title on Wednesday when they take on the Paul Stirling-led side at the Nassau County Stadium in New York.

Ahead of the match, Shah took to microblogging site X, asking the Indian players to bring the cup back home.

“Let’s bring this trophy home… Jai Hind,” the BCCI secretary posted on Wednesday.

Team India in T20 World Cup 2024

The team knows that it is a touch undercooked with a lot of confusion still persisting about what could be the best combination on a drop-in virgin strip. As is clear from the games so far, scoring won’t be a walk in the park like it was during the Indian Premier League the last couple of months.

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have individually laid their hands on global silverware but an assortment of some other ‘once in generation’ cricketers, including Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja, have not and they would be eager to finally lift one.

At 37, this could safely be termed as Rohit’s last World Cup in the white-ball format as one doesn’t have to be Nostradamus to predict that he won’t be around for the next T20 World Cup in India and the 50-over World Cup in South Africa in 2027.

IND vs IRE Squads:

India: Rohit Sharma (captain), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, Yuzvendra Chahal.

Ireland: Paul Stirling (captain), Mark Adair, Ross Adair, Andy Balbirnie, Curtis Campher, Gareth Delany, George Dockrell, Graham Hume, Josh Little*, Barry McCarthy, Neil Rock (wk), Harry Tector, Lorcan Tucker (wk), Ben White, Craig Young.
