Both players played their last match against England in the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2022. After this, he did not play in any series, hence speculations started that perhaps the team management is now thinking ahead of him. In Rohit’s absence, Hardik Pandya was given the captaincy and there was talk that he would also be the captain in the upcoming T20 World Cup. However, after Hardik got injured, Suryakumar Yadav led the Indian team in the last two series. Since now he is also injured, the team management decided to recall Rohit Sharma.

Ganguly said that, definitely Rohit should captain in the T20 World Cup. Virat Kohli should also be there. Virat Kohli is a great player, even if he is making a comeback in the T20 team after a long gap, it will not hurt. Let us tell you that Kohli and Rohit have scored 4008 and 3853 runs respectively in T20I. In the last T20 World Cup, Virat Kohli was in very dangerous form and was the highest run scorer in the tournament. He had scored 296 runs with the help of 4 half-centuries.
