NEW DELHI: The disappointment was evident on the faces of Team India's players, particularly captain Rohit Sharma and batting maestro Virat Kohli, following their loss in the ODI World Cup final against Australia. The star Indian duo then opted out of the T20I & ODI squads as India embarked on the tour of South Africa, giving rise to speculations if both Kohli & Rohit are no longer willing to continue playing T20s for India. And with the T20 World Cup just six months away, Virat and Rohit's possible absence from the tournament led to debates on the topic.

The upcoming ICC T20 World Cup is scheduled to take place from June 4 to 30 next year, hosted jointly by the West Indies and the United States. India secured their inaugural T20 World Cup title in 2007, captained by Mahendra Singh Dhoni, marking their sole title victory in the showpiece tournament since its inception.
