BCCI announced India's squad for the T20 World Cup on Tuesday, April 30. The BCCI selection committee ended the suspense around the selection of the Indian team as they picked a 15-member squad. The ardent followers of the Indian cricket team had a lot of reactions following the squad announcement. 

A large section of fans was majorly disappointed with Rinku Singh's exclusion from the squad. Despite boasting of great finishing skills and temperament, the crowd-favourite, Rinku, could not make it into the team amid slot issues. 

Apart from Rinku, there are other players as well who could not make it to the 15 member squad. Host Rahul Makin & Shikhar Varshney talk about the World Cup Squad and the current situation of the IPL points table.

The T20 tournament is half way done and there is literally no room for bowlers to breathe. We have already come to a stage where we have seen highest number of centuries, sixes and for that matter highest total of all time.

RJ Rahul Makin and Shikhar Varshney talk about all this and how the standings on the table look now. What are the chances of the teams that are sitting at bottom? What is SRH, RR and KKR's new approach? Is CSK going to play the playoffs one more time?
