Mumbai, 7/1: Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli on Sunday made a high-profile comeback to India’s T20 squad for the three home games against Afghanistan with the former also named captain for the series beginning in Mohali on January 11.
Rohit and Kohli last appeared in a T20 for India in the World Cup semifinal against England in November 2022. Back then, the two veterans along with KL Rahul were seen to be playing archaic cricket in the powerplay and the team needed to move on from from that approach with Hardik Pandya earmarked as the new T20 skipper. However, Pandya’s own injury in the ODI World Cup along and more recently, Suryakumar Yadav’s ligament tear, resulted in a lot of inexperience at the top of the order.
