I Thought Team Has Moved On From Rohit, Virat In T20Is: Deep Dasgupta
Afghanistan T20Is: Former India cricketer Deep Dasgupta said he was surprised at the selection for Afghanistan T20Is, indicating that he believed the team had transitioned beyond the Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli after consecutive failures in the 2021 and 2022 T20 World Cup editions.
The dynamic duo of Rohit and Kohli made a comeback to the Indian T20I side after a hiatus of over a year, marking their return against Afghanistan in a 3-match series. The seasoned campaigners hadn't featured in T20Is since India's disappointing semi-final exit against England in the T20 World Cup 2022. Their return is a strategic move by the Indian selectors ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024, scheduled for June in the West Indies and the United States.
However, Dasgupta acknowledged Rohit's stellar performance in the 50-over World Cup, suggesting that the captain's form might have influenced the decision.
