Five IPL 2022 performers who can replace Virat Kohli in India's T20 World Cup squad

The Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson can also replace Kohli in the India's T20 squad. Samson has not had a great IPL 2022 but it is also due the fact that others have stepped up in time. Sanju, at No 3, could play the role of a power-anchor. Sanju featured in India squad for Sri Lanka T20s but that was because Kohli rested for the series. So if Kohli is dropped for the World Cup, he might be the first choice. (Source: Twitter)

The more you speak about Dinesh Karthik's form in IPL 2022, the less it is. It seems DK has come to the tournament thinking that he wants to storm back to the Indian team and with so many match-winning knocks already, he has ensured the selectors are forced to think about him. (Source: Twitter)

Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya has been phenomenal with the bat in hand. He is currently in race to get the Orange Cap. Hardik is among the top 5 batters in IPL 2022 so far, in terms of runs scored. In 6 games, he has smashed 295 runs. Not to forget, he has been batting at the same spot as Kohli, that is No 3. Many believe Hardik is an able No 3 who has shown that he can anchor the innings pretty well. (Source: Twitter)

Shubman Gill opens for Gujarat Titans. But he could be a good choice for No 3 for India at the T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia. In IPL 2022 he has shown that he can play with a better strike rate as compared to previous years, without wasting a lot of time on the crease. (Source: Twitter)

Shivam Dube is another name who is knocking on the door. He has been terrific for CSK, batting at No 4 in IPL 2022. With Dhoni by his side, the Mumbai batter has been able to express himself well. Dube can be a good bet at No 4 or 5 for India, considering the likes of Pant and Surya get promotion up the batting order in absence of Kohli. (Source: Twitter)
