Big challenge in front of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli
Rohit Sharma Virat Kohli big challenge in India vs Afghanistan T20I Series : Team India is ready to enter the T20 International field once again under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. The three-match T20 match series between India and Afghanistan is going to start from Thursday, January 11 in Mohali. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are making a comeback in this format after about 15 months, so all eyes are going to be on them. But in the meantime, there will be a big challenge in front of Rohit and Kohli, it has to be seen how these two players will face it together.
Rohit Sharma will open against Afghanistan
Rohit Sharma will play as an opener in the T20 series against Afghanistan. It is yet to be revealed who will be his partner between Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill. But the question will be that what kind of batting does Rohit Sharma do in the first six overs i.e. powerplay. A T20 match is of only 20 overs, so the first six overs are very important. Will Rohit Sharma bat aggressively and make the score big in the first six overs or will the other opener have to do this work, so that he can play the role of anchor.
Everyone will keep an eye on Virat Kohli’s batting
Although the Indian team would like that no wicket should fall in the first 6 overs, but if the openers get out, then it has to be seen with what intent Virat Kohli bats. The young batsmen who have been given a chance in this series have proven themselves many times. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are also known and recognized for their explosive batting, but they are making a comeback after such a long time, so everyone will be more interested in them.
This is an important series for T20 World Cup 2024
Both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have played more than 100 T20 International matches. In such a situation, he has immense experience, which can be useful for young players. But for this it will be necessary that Kohli and Rohit themselves also bat hard. This series and the subsequent IPL will decide what will be the squad of the Indian team in the T20 World Cup 2024, which is to be played in West Indies and USA in June.
