Let us tell you that, since the 2022 T20 World Cup, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have not played a single T20 match for India.

Fans are eagerly waiting to see Rohit and Kohli playing in a T-20 match on the field once again. However, with key players like Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav unavailable due to injuries, the selection committee will be faced with the challenge of appointing a new captain for the T20Is. Additionally, the committee is considering resting fast bowling pair Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah for the upcoming matches against Afghanistan. Both Siraj and Bumrah played important roles in India’s recent win over South Africa, ending the two-match Test series with a draw. In such a situation, the selection committee will try to keep Bumrah and Siraj fit for the Test series against England by giving them rest. India’s three-match T20 series against Afghanistan is scheduled to begin on January 11 at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali. After this, the second and third T20 matches will be played on January 14 and 17 at Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore and M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru respectively.

While hosting JioCinema’s daily sports show ‘#AAKASHVANI’, Aakash Chopra gave his opinion about the Cape Town pitch. Indian team never complains about the pitch – Aakash Chopra Chopra said, “When a Test match lasts for one and a half days, some results also come. There are some talks regarding the pitch. Some questions have been asked. India have never complained about the quality of the pitches offered. Last time the Wanderers pitch was really bad. To be honest, some players could have got hurt due to this. This pitch of Cape Town was also bad. India still focused on the match and did not complain. I also remember that pitch in Perth (Australia). And it was really bad. You can’t justify a pitch where the ball comes off good length and goes over the keeper’s head. There also India did not say anything. He just competed and showed fighting spirit. In fact, when the pitch is bad, somehow the Indian team performs best there. I think neither such pitches nor dusty pitches are good for the game in India. This is simply not good for the game of cricket.” Also read: Brett Lee seen talking in Hindi in Big Bash League, watch video
