Star, the official broadcaster of the T20 World Cup in India, has run an ad campaign ... a lot waiting ... Jeet lo cup ab ki baar. The Indian team has been waiting to win this tournament since 15 years. We got success for the first and last time in 2007.
The wait was getting very long, so the Board of Control for Cricket in India did a lot of preparation. Since the last T20 World, 35 matches of this format have been done for this team within 11 months. If we add the remaining two formats, Test and ODI, then a total of 59 matches took place during this period. But, when the team was formed, most of the players got the chance who played the least in these 59 matches.
Some players were given periodic rest throughout the year to keep them fit for the World Cup. But, he got injured while resting. Let us talk about these surmas one by one. Before that let us give your opinion in this poll...

Starting from top 3 i.e. Rohit-Rahul-Virat
Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul will open for India in the World Cup and Virat Kohli will come at number-3. This thing was decided not today but a year ago. Despite this, these stars have been missing from almost half of Team India's matches in the last one year. Virat was missing in 31 out of 59 international matches. Rahul did not play 37 matches. At the same time, captain Rohit Sharma also missed 25 matches. Talking about T20 only, Virat did not play 21 out of 35 matches of India after the last T20 World Cup.

Some of our players are such that they are getting injured while resting. Jasprit Bumrah has played only 5 T20s and a total of 16 international matches since the last World Cup. Despite this, he is out of the team for 4 to 6 months due to a back injury. Same happened with Ravindra Jadeja. They are playing 9 T20 and 16 International matches in so many days. He is also out of the World Cup team due to injury.
How to play 14-16 matches in two months in IPL when rest is so important
You can say that players should be fit and fresh, so it is necessary to give rest in between. If so, then this philosophy should be applicable in IPL also. But, it does not happen there. In the next picture you can see how many matches our stars miss in almost two months of IPL. Rohit and Bumrah played 14 consecutive matches for Mumbai last season when their team was knocked out of the play-off race after 10 matches. That is, he continued to play in the non-essential matches of the IPL. Taking the risk of getting injured. But, when it is his turn to play for the national team, he needs rest.
