The dashing batter has made his comeback to the T20I team after 14 months. Virat Kohli is playing his first T20I game since India’s 10-wicket loss against England in the semi-final clash of the T20 World Cup 2022. Notably, the great batter didn’t get the chance in the shortest format of the game since the last marquee event, as the management was preparing for the upcoming talented players.

Meanwhile, Team India has already won the first game of the T20I series, and they will be hoping to win the second to seal the series against the Afghanistan side. However, it is surprising to see who will sit on the bench alongside Shivam Dube, Sanju Samson, Tilak Varma, and Jitesh Sharma in the presence of India’s former Virat Kohli, who missed the first game.

Virat Kohli was the leading run scorer in the ODI World Cup 2023 and played a very crucial role in helping India reach the finals. However, Team India suffered a heartbreaking loss in the ODI World Cup 2023 final against Australia on November 19 at the iconic Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium.
