NEW DELHI: For the first time in 14 months, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are set to take the field in a T20I for India after the national selection committee named the two veterans in the team for the three-match home series against Afghanistan starting on January 11. The development comes at a time when the Indian team management is trying to settle on a core group of players for the T20 World Cup in June.
With Hardik Pandya expectedly ruled out due to his ankle injury, Rohit has been asked to lead the T20I team again for the first time since the T20 World Cup in 2022.
