As the T20 World Cup 2024 nears, let's have a look at debutants who might make a lasting impression in the tournament.

1. Rinku Singh: The rising India star is currently one of the best finishers in the format. For India in T20Is, the left-handed batter has amassed 356 runs from 11 innings at a jaw-dropping average of 89.00, strike rate of 176.24. Looks like Rinku Singh has almost cemented his place in India squad for T20 World Cup 2024; a lot will depend on how he performs in IPL 2024.

2. Afghanistan's star all-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai has been shining for his national team for quite some time now. In last year's ODI World Cup, Azmatullah picked seven wickets in nine matches and saved a lot of runs in the powerplay overs. With the bat, he scored 353 runs, laced up with 3 fifty-plus scores.

3. England's wicket-keeper batter Phil Salt has been in remarkable form in the last year or so, across T20 leagues in cricket. Last year, the right-handed batter scored 394 runs in 8 matches with two tons.

4. New Zealand's Ben Sears has been in good form in T20Is in 2024. The pacer picked 7 wickets in 4 matches at bowling average of 17.29, delivering for the BlackCaps against teams like Australia and Pakistan. Some of the key Kiwi bowlers are struggling with their form at the moment. The talented pacer will surely be handy for New Zealand in T20 World Cup 2024 tournament.

5. Premier South African pacer Gerald Coetzee made a big impact with his ability to take wickets in middle overs during last year's ODI World Cup. The talented pacer has troubled the best batters with his pace and seam. He becomes more lethal on good wickets that helps pacers. Coetzee will be a key bowler for South Africa in the T20 World Cup 2024.
