Virat Kohli To Miss First T20I Match Against Afghanistan Due To Personal Reasons, Confirms Rahul Dravid Mohali
Rahul Dravid Mohali: In the lead-up to the much-anticipated T20I series against Afghanistan, head coach Rahul Dravid on Wednesday confirmed that Virat Kohli will miss the series opener against Afghanistan due to personal reasons.
The series opener is scheduled to take place in Mohali on January 11, but Kohli, a stalwart of Indian cricket, will join the squad for the subsequent T20Is in Indore and Bengaluru on January 14 and 17, respectively.
Speaking of Rohit Sharma, he was not only included in the T20I squad but also bestowed with the captaincy role for the series against Afghanistan. The decision to appoint Rohit as the captain marked a strategic move as India aims to build momentum in the shortest format of the game.
