Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are very much in contention for the selection for the T20 World Cup 2024 as per the report in RevSportz. The World Cup is scheduled to take place in June next year in the Caribbean and the United States of America (USA).
Both the pioneers of Indian Cricket were rested from the white-ball leg of the South Africa tour. But they have been picked for the Test series. Rohit Sharma will captain the team whereas Virat Kohli will play an integral role for the team.
Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma themselves asked for the rest from the white-ball leg of the South Africa tour. However, despite this, there have been a lot of speculations about their future in the white-ball career.
With both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli not being picked in the T20I lineup against South Africa, many felt that the duo wouldn’t be featuring in the T20 World Cup 2024. However, the report in RevSportz has suggested that they both are reckoning in the white-ball format.
The report added that there are no things related to their non-selection in the T20 World Cup 2024 and they are still in the BCCI’s plans for the tournament. The rest in the T20I series does not mean that they will not play in the World Cup. Their focus currently is on the Tests as India have never won a series in South Africa.
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli haven’t featured in the T20Is since the end of the T20 World Cup 2022. It remains to be seen when will they make a comeback into the team in T20I format.
