Just like Rohit Sharma, Kohli did not play in a single T20I match for India in 2023. Kohli’s last short-format appearance for the Indian team was their semi-final setback against England in the ICC World Cup 2022.
The PTI report has it that Captain Sharma as well as Coach Dravid and Joint selector Ajit Agarkar call for Hardik Pandya to bowl more frequently but it also goes on further that they remain committed to his selection. The management of the team will, however, be keeping a close tab on his bowling in IPL 2024 still Naz overshadows him by a long stretch to be the premier fast bowling all-rounder of the team.
Just like Hardik, Virat Kohli, being a most certain in the team is besides a formality. On Wednesday, a reply by Dainik Jagran about Kohli is prepared that India might do like this – in which Kohli will open with Rohit Sharma and India will get the fastest batter for middle overs. To begin with, Kohli is sitting on the orange cap for singing the anthems every seasons of IPL 2024 as he has been opening for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru for the past several years.
