New York: Rohit Sharma has not played in the format since the 2022 Twenty20 World Cup, where Team India lost in the semi-finals. Along with Rohit, run machine Virat Kohli is currently not part of the Indian T20 squad. The selectors of Team India are preparing a young team led by Hardik Pandya ahead of the Twenty20 World Cup next year. With this, many thought that Rohit and Kohli’s international T20 career was over. But Rohit is finally hinting that he will return to the T20 team.
After winning the ODI series against West Indies, Rohit Sharma opened up about his future in T20 in the Indian jersey at a promotional event held in the United States. ‘There was another reason for coming to America besides just coming and beating up. You know the World Cup is here in June. Everyone is definitely looking forward to it. “We are also waiting for the World Cup,” said Rohit. With this, the fans are hoping that Rohit Sharma will play the next Twenty20 World Cup.
Rohit Sharma has been rested for the ongoing five T20I series against West Indies. All-rounder Hardik Pandya will lead the team instead. After the last World Cup, Hardy is the Twenty20 captain. Pandya is expected to take over the captaincy in white ball cricket as Rohit Sharma’s successor. The BCCI has not officially clarified whether Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are being kept out of T20 as part of workload management or to give a chance to new players.
