Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma available for selections in T20Is – Reports
Indian team is set to witness a big comeback. Reports claim that the senior batters like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have made themselves available for selection in T20Is. If what reports suggest are to be trusted, we might see Virat and Rohit back in action in the T20Is soon. India is slated to play a T20I series this month against Afghanistan. The selection process for the same will be very interesting.
Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma last played a T20I match in November 2022. The match against England in the T20 WC 2022 in the semifinal was their last appearance in the format. Since then, the two batters have only played for their franchises in the IPL and have not played in an international T20 match for India. The focus of the team was different.
The Indian team wanted to test some of the younger players in the team. As a result, senior players like Virat, Rohit, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar were all snubbed from the T20I squads. Bhuvneshwar has not played a game and does not look even in contention for an Indian comeback. The IPL 2024 will be important for many players.
Rohit Sharma to lead in T20Is?
Hardik Pandya has not been able to recover from the injury he sustained in the ODI WC 2023. With just 6 months left for the T20 WC 2024 to start, the Indian management is looking for a stable squad. With that, there comes the need to have stability in leadership. As a result, the sources claim that the management is looking at the option of having Rohit Sharma lead the Indian team.
The reports claim that Rohit might lead in the T20I series against Afghanistan. Hardik is ruled out from the series against Afghanistan. Even Suryakumar Yadav who led India in T20Is against Australia and SA is ruled out of the series against Afghanistan. To bring stability to the team, reports claim that the management is looking to recall Rohit to lead the side in T20Is.
